What it does

The legislature's own summary of the bill, or its official long title.

Currently, teachers who complete a year-long teacher residency program in Delaware under §1281 of Title 14 do not receive credit for the year-long residency towards their starting salary when they begin employment as a fully licensed and certified teacher the following year. This Act requires that a Delaware licensed and certified teacher, who has completed the program, and met all other requirements, including committing to teaching in a qualifying Delaware school, shall be paid at salary step 2 for the year following completion of the program.
