HB1475 suspends bonuses for certificated instructional staff with national board for professional teaching standards certification in Washington.

HB1475 amends the Revised Code of Washington to suspend bonuses for certificated instructional staff who have attained certification from the national board for professional teaching standards. These bonuses, which were previously awarded annually, will not be paid for the 2025-26, 2026-27, 2027-28, and 2028-29 school years. The bill modifies existing provisions to ensure these bonuses are not included in calculations of a district's average salary and associated salary limitations.
