The bill would require the Texas Education Agency to collect employee salary data from school districts through the Public Education Information Management System and provide information on the agency's website that indicates, by school district, the average salaries of classroom teachers by subject and grade level.

The bill would would require TEA to analyze the cost-of-living in each region of the state to determine if teacher salaries paid were comparable to salaries of comparable professionals in that region.

This analysis assumes that any costs related to implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
