During Teacher Appreciation Week, remember this: If we want the best-educated workforce in the world, we need great teachers.
But we won’t attract great teachers when the average starting salary is just $48K a year.
My Pay Teachers Act guarantees teachers at least $60K a year.

Arizona zip codes by household income and voucher participation.
More evidence from the nation’s first universal ESA that these programs are disproportionately used by higher-income families to subsidize tuition at private schools they were already attending.

I will keep saying it until everyone hears it:
Educators deserve professional pay.
Educators deserve professional pay.
Educators deserve professional pay.
Educators deserve professional pay.
Educators deserve professional pay.

If you think teachers have it easy, you’re in luck. America is currently short more than 320,000 teachers. Give it a try! 😏

Dear political campaigns,
Compensate the youth for their time on your campaign.
Don’t have the funds?
Please do call time.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The Legislature has adjourned the 2024 Session sine die. Here's what they achieved for public school children & teachers:
• $229M increase in public school funding, includes paying increases in health insurance & PERS for school employees

Today's Senate passage of HB 4130 sends a new school funding law, the MS Student Funding Formula, to the governor for his signature. Projections released by the Senate show how each district fares under the new plan: tpcref.org/wp-content/upload…

Good morning from the beautiful MS State Capitol. HB 4130 (new education funding formula) heads to the MS Senate today while SB 3231 (PERS) should be considered by @MSHouseOfRep.

People do not respect teachers, professors, or education administrators enough for me any more. And I’m talking about the ones that we know go over and beyond.

I see why coaches and people don’t like working in charter schools 🤷🏾♀️

Moral of the story! Don’t believe everything you hear about Jackson, MS. You could be entertaining a hater. ❤️

Quick fact-check going into the weekend. The claim that "starting salaries for MS teachers are at or above the national and southeastern average" is false.
Starting pay in MS in $41,500. That's above the national/SE averages... in 2020-2021. We are way behind now.

Teachers in Mississippi finally got a deserved pay raise that started in August of this year AND what comes in the mail this week? A letter informing us all that our health insurance deductibles will be going up January 1, 2024! Just like clockwork!!

I'm super proud of Northwest Middle school (A) in my community. And Johnson elementary (B) in my neighborhood. Our kids deserve both praise and encouragement ❤️ – at Jackson, MS
