After teacher pay report, educators hope for more state action

INDIANAPOLIS A report recently released on how to raise Indiana teacher pay has recommended a number of pathways both school corporations and the state government could take to increase salaries, but some educators say the recommendations place too much responsibility on corporations and not enough on the state.
The Next Level Teachers Compensation Commission, a panel tasked with finding ways to make Indiana teacher salaries more competitive, recommended a mix of cost savings and spending shifts to raise average teacher pay from $51,000 to at least $60,000.
The commission was formed by Gov. Eric Holcomb in February 2019 to look for long-term solutions to the state’s low pay for teachers; the raise would bring Indiana’s average teacher salary from ninth-highest to third-highest in the Midwest. The investment would cost more than $600 million.
