Education budget austerity carries a high cost
In my district, over 500 new teachers were not paid for their first three paychecks for the 2024-2025 school year.
Nothing says, “Thank you for being a teacher,” like not paying them for working as a teacher.
This is terrible. And exactly the sort of blatant disrespect that causes people to NOT want to teach.
Teachers, come Washington State! I make over 130,000 here. Yay for strong unions and a Democratic-majority legislature.
Other states, take note: it is not impossible to pay teachers a living wage.
