SF 100: Public School Teacher Incentive Programs
2007 General Session

Sponsor: Sen. Kit Jennings (R-S28, Casper); co-sponsors Sens. Hank Coe (R-S18, Cody), Rae Lynn Job (D-S12, Rock Springs), Michael Von Flatern (R-S24, Gillette and Rep. Del McOmie (R-H54, Lander)

SF 100 provided funding for school districts for incentive payments to teachers who are certified and teach in more than one subject area throughout the school year. The teacher will have to provide instruction in at least two approved subject areas for at least 75% of the total regular school day schedule to qualify for an incentive payment of $2,000 (in addition to the annual salary).

SF 100 also provided funding for school districts to give incentive payments of $4,000 (in addition to annual salary) to teachers who hold national board certification.

The Legislative Service Office estimated it will cost about $628,000 (from the school foundation fund) to fully fund these two incentive programs.

The Senate and House both unanimously passed SF 100.
