Last session, NSEA supported SB173 to create meaningful summer school programs to address the missed opportunities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its focus on education equity. SB340 represents a continuation of this important work.
NSEA applauds provisions in this legislation providing compensation for working in summer school based upon the contract rate, as lower summer school rates fail to attract enough experienced educators. NSEA would ask school districts who run an extended school year or extended studies to consider parity in compensation for educators working in those other summer programs
