MS Teacher Payraise Plan Headed To Governor

Mississippi legislators have agreed on a teacher pay raise plan, and it will head to Gov. Tate Reeves. The Republican governor said earlier this year that he would sign any teacher pay raise bill that lands on his desk. House Bill 852 would give most teachers and teachers’ assistants a $1,000 pay raise. Newer teachers would get $1,100. The House passed the final version of the bill Thursday, agreeing to changes made by the Senate.
