SOUTHERN COLORADO â Colorado teachers could see a rise in pay with a bill introduced in the state legislature.
Senate Bill 172 creates the educator pay raise fund which would help school districts, charter schools, and boards of cooperative services in increasing teacher salaries as well as the hourly wage of other employees. Anything that can fund teacher pay raises, and guarantee them over time in the future is going to be really beneficial, said Cari Fox, Academy School District 20 teacher and Pikes Peak Education Association.
