Complete·1/29/25

Establishes minimum salary requirements for early childhood educators in the District of Columbia.

The bill sets minimum salary requirements for early childhood educators, including assistant and lead teachers, in child development facilities that receive funds from the Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund. It mandates specific salary levels based on educational credentials and experience, such as $51,006/year for teachers with a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential and $75,103/year for those with a bachelor's degree in early childhood education. The Department of Education is required to provide guidance to help facilities align with these new salary standards.
