FISCAL NOTE
Senate Bill 217
Committee: Education Policy Sponsor: Senator Donnie Chesteen
Analyst: John Friedenreich Date: 03/20/2024
Senate Bill 217 as introduced would increase the obligations of local boards of education by an
undetermined amount to add additional years of experience credit on the local salary schedule
for certain teachers who previously worked as paraprofessionals or classroom teacher's aides.
The increased obligation would be dependent upon (1) the number of paraprofessionals or
classroom teacher's aides that obtain a teaching certificate and are hired into a position requiring
a certification after June 1, 2024; and (2) the additional number of years of experience credit
added for every two years of full-time experience as a paraprofessional or classroom teacher
aide.
