HB1566 is now in the House Appropriations Committee. Please let the members know you'd like it to PASS!
Teacher and school staff shortages must be mitigated.
We must pay teachers higher salaries to attract and keep them in our schools.
BACKGROUND
Across the country, schools are facing a shortage of about 300,000 teachers and staff. One factor contributing to this shortage is uncompetitive pay. Teachers make about 23% less in their profession than comparable college graduates in other fields. Many teachers can not afford to live in the community where they work.
Low pay combined with the stresses of teaching during a pandemic and the return to school of isolated students after the pandemic have caused many teachers to resign.
To attract teachers back to the classroom we must substantially increase teacher pay.
