Texas teachers press for higher pay amid broad state strikes
In a wave of pay protests, teachers in four states push for bigger salaries and benefits while Texas educators stay in class. Texas ranks 27th nationally with an average salary of 51,890 in 2016, about 6,500 below the national average, as lawmakers debate a 1.5 billion boost and a commission examines the Robin Hood style school funding system. The education overhaul of 1993 bars strikes but allows grievances to be voiced, and a Texas Commission on Public School Finance works to fix a long criticized funding scheme amid Republican leadership.

Texas legislators earn 600 per month under the state constitution since 1975, 7200 per year, while tying their pay to teacher or average salaries could push lawmakers over 40000 annually. Retirement links to judges’ salaries yield about 3220 yearly per year of service, creating incentives for pay and benefits alignment that could spur teachers to run for office. Dave McNeely.
