Issue Position: Teacher Compensation

Issue Position

We must figure out a way to merge the retirement plans while not losing sight on our pay raise for our teachers. Eligible teachers must be able to afford to retire thus creating opportunities for our new educators of tomorrow who will start contributing to the retirement plan. Included teachers to my list of recent college graduates tax incentive plan that gave those graduates who chose teaching as their profession no state income tax for the first three years after graduation. Bill is currently being studied through interims and could see passage next session.
