teacher pay

Utahns think public education is the most important issue and providing better support to teachers is the best way to improve education for kids, according to a recent survey.

The governor said this year should be "the year of the teacher," but there were some strings attached to that by Utah lawmakers.

A new bill would require the teacher raise to go up each year by the same percentage that the state increases per-pupil funding.

Lawmakers front-loaded some of the most controversial legislation at the beginning of the session.

The bill that includes a pay raise for teachers and also creates a school voucher program is moving to the full Senate, its last hurdle before going to the governor.

Gov. Spencer Cox highlighted education, housing, water and quality of life issues in his annual state address.

Lawmakers will also discuss school safety, teen centers and transgender students.

“This session, we will have the foresight to find lasting solutions to Utah’s and the West’s water crisis,” Senate President Stuart Adams.

During the height of the omicron surge, many teachers had to work overtime to fill in for their sick coworkers due to a shortage of substitute teachers.
