Allows speech-language pathologists in Missouri public schools to qualify for retirement benefits.
This bill amends Missouri law to recognize speech-language pathologists employed by public schools as equivalent to certificated teachers. They will be eligible for membership in the Public Schools Retirement System of Missouri, receiving benefits such as contribution rates, service credit, retirement benefits, and survivor benefits. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will issue teaching certificates for these professionals and may create rules for administering this change.
