Arkansas Senate OKs Teacher Pay Increases Across Areas
The Arkansas Senate unanimously approved two bills to raise teacher salaries and set a distribution formula for about 14.3 million dollars in state aid. One measure guarantees minimum salaries tied to education level, with district allocations varying by unit, and a 10 percent set aside for current job classifications. The plans rely on factors like average daily attendance and local ability to pay, with a “shoe absorber” clause ensuring most districts receive at least about six hundred dollars per teacher unit.
