Hawaii SB973 funds pay differentials for English language educators to address a critical shortage.
Hawaii SB973 aims to address the shortage of qualified English language learner educators by providing financial incentives. The bill appropriates funds for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 to pay differentials to educators who meet specific criteria, such as holding a valid license to teach English to speakers of other languages. The funds will be released only after a memorandum of understanding is executed between the superintendent of education and the educators' collective bargaining unit.
