State Senator Andy Manar (MUH-Nare) was successful in his push for increased minimum teacher salaries, but he knows the work is not over. In the months to come, he wants to soften the blow for school districts adjusting to the higher starting wage. He also thinks it will help school districts who don't get much response to their help wanted ads...

 

 

Manar's legislation will push the starting teacher wage to $40,000 by the 2022-2023 school year.
