HB1048 establishes a minimum teacher salary requirement for South Dakota schools and revises how the state calculates average teacher compensation used for funding purposes. The bill removes outdated compensation calculation methods while setting a floor below which teacher salaries cannot fall. This change ensures teachers earn at least a baseline amount while updating how the state measures and allocates education funding.
