153rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY
SENATE BILL NO. 81
AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 14 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO TEACHER SALARIES.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:
1 Section 1. Amend § 1312, Title 14 of the Delaware Code by making deletions as shown by strike through and
2 insertions as shown by underline as follows:
3 § 1312. Experience.
4 (g) In the case of a teacher or specialist with at least 4 years of full-time experience as a Title 1 or instructional
5 paraprofessional in a public school who has been issued a permit by the Department of Education or an equivalent agency
6 in another state prior to becoming a teacher or specialist, the teacher or specialist is given 1 year of experience credit on the
7 salary schedule under § 1305 of this title for every 2 years of full-time experience as such a paraprofessional in a public
8 school. This subsection only applies to teachers hired after August 9, 2023.
SYNOPSIS
This Act removes the time restriction that only allowed for certain teachers or specialists who were hired after
August 9, 2023, to obtain additional experience credit for purposes of salary computation. This Act would allow for
teachers or specialists hired before August 9, 2023, to qualify for the same experience credit for purposes of salary
computation.
