Teachers Raise Called Meager In West Virginia
West Virginia educators urge a 15 percent pay raise, saying the proposed five percent is inadequate to cover living costs. Lillian Porter of the Classroom Teachers Association clashes with the plan during a House Education Committee hearing. State official Daniel Taeepee calls five percent the absolute minimum. WVEA backs 15 percent, costing the state about 33.4 million dollars. Legg of the School Personnel Association cites low wages for lunch staff and bus drivers as part of the broader pay debate.
