Please contact your Senator today and demand that educators receive a meaningful state mandated pay raise in this budget!

While our neighboring states like Tennessee, Ohio, and Indiana are making significant investments in their educators, including one proposal to raise salaries to a starting minimum of $50,000, the Kentucky General Assembly continues to ignore educator salaries, allowing Kentucky to slip to 44th in the nation for starting teacher salaries and 48th for school support staff. 

Tell your State Senator that Kentucky can and must do better for our kids, our educators, and our communities by investing in the future with significant mandated raises for our educators. Tell your story! Let your voice be heard!
