Illinois pay raise could pull teachers from Iowa border towns
Illinois may set a floor of 32,076 for 2019-20 rising to 40,000 by 2022-23, potentially drawing Iowa teachers eastward. Iowa unions warn of poaching while districts cite local offers and cost of living. Central Lee Schools near the Illinois border already recruits from Illinois, as Iowa ranks eighth in pay with leadership stipends averaging up to 12,000.
