Mississippi HB422 provides compensation for expert citizen teachers in critical shortage areas.

Mississippi HB422 amends the state's education code to allow school districts experiencing critical teacher shortages to compensate expert citizen teachers at a rate based on their professional or vocational expertise. These teachers, who do not need to hold a bachelor's degree but must have relevant industry certifications and experience, can be credited with three-quarters of a year of teaching experience for each year of expertise.
