Repeal Certain Education Funds and Dedicate Revenues to Teachers' Retirement System Amendment

Plain-English Summary

A legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would repeal the Education Excellence Fund, the Education Quality Trust Fund, and the Quality Education Support Fund, and instead apply those balances to the Teachers' Retirement System. Resulting savings would fund recurring annual salary increases of $2,250 for public school teachers and $1,125 for eligible non-instructional support personnel.

IF YES PASSES

If rejected, the existing dedicated education funds remain intact and the proposed recurring teacher pay raise structure does not take effect.
