twitterLetter: Teachers’ dismal salaries impair kids’ education
Tuesday, Aug. 2, 2005 | 9:03 a.m.
The responsibility for ensuring an atmosphere in our schools that will attract qualified teachers who will want to stay belongs solely to the School Board.
I'm sure they know that a recruit for Metro Police, one with a high school diploma, would start at a well-deserved $42,975. On the other hand, the board members start a teacher with a bachelor's degree at a humiliating $28,491.
This is resulting in a shortage of teachers, and there is some question of the quality of the candidates we are able to get. It's time for School Board members to loosen up the purse strings and pay teachers a competitive salary that will attract and keep good teachers.
Our children deserve no less.
