[quote=Anonymous]Base pay for teachers should be $70k year 1. Stipends for things like hard to fill positions (esol, sped, math), and for working in low income schools. Bonuses for 5 year retentions. I used to teach in one of “those” schools and it is easily twice as hard as teaching at the UMC school. Compensate the teachers who choose that. A Fairfax county teacher should be able to make $100k teaching sped at Poe middle school 10 years into their career. If we want people to come, they have to be paid. Other careers pay. I honestly have no idea where the money would come from. I know the budget is always tight. But we have to find money somewhere or people are going to continue to leave because the economy says we value editing online content more than teaching kids to read and write.[/quote]
