Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 22.1-289.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 22.1-289.1. Teacher compensation; biennial review required.
It is a goal of the
Commonwealth that its public Public school teachers shall be compensated at a rate
that is competitive in order to attract and keep highly qualified teachers. As
used in this section, "competitive" means, at a minimum, at or above
the national average teacher salary. The Department of Education shall conduct
a biennial review of the compensation of teachers and shall consider the
Commonwealth's compensation for teachers relative to the national average
teacher salary. The results of these reviews shall be reported to the Governor,
the General Assembly, and the Board of Education by June 1 of each odd-numbered
year.
2. That the provisions of this act shall become effective on July 1, 2023.
3. That state funding shall be provided pursuant to the general appropriation act in a sum sufficient to fund a 4.5 percent annual increase for public school teacher salaries, effective from the 2023–24 school year through the 2027–28 school year.
