Hawaii HB1346 proposes automatic salary increases for teachers based on years of satisfactory service, aiming to address teacher retention issues.

Hawaii HB1346 addresses the issue of teacher retention by proposing automatic salary increases for teachers who have completed a year of satisfactory service. This bill aims to support current teachers and improve retention rates, which have seen a significant decline in recent years. The proposed increases are subject to available funds and are intended to adjust for the cost of living, which currently places Hawaii teachers' salaries at the lowest in the nation. The bill seeks to amend Chapter 302A of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to include these automatic salary increases.
