Reducing the salary hike from $2,000 per teacher to $1,000 would allow lawmakers to restore spending cuts the governor recommended in other areas of his $28.1 billion fiscal 2021 budget plan, including funding for programs that affect education, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Terry England said.
“To teachers, it’s not all about the money,” said England, R-Auburn. “It’s support services and wraparound services, not only in the classroom but in the community.”
