Things that school corp., state, and federal could do.
1. Pay them as college graduates, not some one with an AA.
2. Return severance, funded at state level. 20 + years ago, Most IN schools stopped rewarding teachers who stayed for X number of years. You got a pay out at the end of your career which would increase your final salary level, which has a direct effect on their retirement.
3. Pay them $ X for every day the dont use, which you have them in the room more often and use less subs over the year. Because there is no reward for saving sick days, if you dont use your sick days, you lose them.
4. Encourage teachers to “profesionalize” their teacher license. Basically, you move to a higher pay scale, going back and taking college hours and getting a MA or MS degree. There are fewer kids in smaller schools in Indiana who can earn AP credits, the instructors do not have a MS in their area of study, required by Advanced Placement.
Bottom line, you get what you pay for.

Department of education is the most unconstitutional form of government.
Over half of Indiana's budget is allocated for education. The problem is not funding (At least not here) it is the districts who stack their employment with administration positions. This is also where teacher raises are approved and allocated, not from the state. Many are not aware of this. I never understood why the teachers protested at the state house. They can't give them a raise, only their district can. All the money thrown at education in this state and kids get dumber. Find the root of the problem and correct it. That is not more tax increases.
