Episode Details

Governor Josh Stein just approved a $34.4 billion state budget, with over $19 billion pouring into education—the biggest slice yet. Teachers are in for a raise, averaging around 8%, but the boost isn’t equal: new teachers jump from $41K to $48K, while veterans with 25+ years get less than 6%, and those with 15–24 years get nothing at all. One-time bonuses of $500 or $1,000 are tossed in, but they’re not retroactive. Still, educators and districts say it’s a step forward—but not enough to truly attract or retain top talent.
