Five years ago tomorrow, tens of thousands of teachers, other educators, parents and students marched across the country, protesting teacher pay in the Red for Ed Movement. MORE ⬇️
In a new report released by the National Education Association , pay in Arizona has increased in the last year.
Arizona is now 32nd in the nation for its average teacher salary, five spots up from the year prior. The state landed at 27th in the nation for average starting teacher pay.The Phoenix Union High School District board, where Anderson works, increased the starting teacher salary to $52,000 in September.
The NEA says Arizona ranks 40th in the country for the earnings of education support professionals with an average of $29,079. The national average is $35,401. Shockingly, the Arizona teacher’s union and a number of Democrats in the legislature, oppose the bill. All we can think of is that they are opposed to it because it is a Republican bill. These kinds of questions should be bipartisan, and people should not oppose a good bill, just because it was introduced by Republican.
