Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under this bill, the Department of Public Instruction must pay a $7,000 bonus to any teacher who has been licensed by DPI and employed by a school board continuously for five school years. Under the bill, the first school year counted for the longevity bonus payments is the 2026-27 school year, such that DPI will begin making bonus payments in the 2031-32 school year. Teachers are eligible for additional bonus payments for subsequent five-year periods that do not overlap. The bonus is not considered earnings for the purposes of the Wisconsin Retirement System.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
