        Raise is good but I'd like a better insurance provider. @Aetna is junk! They give little to no help & premiums are more expensive next year

        So douchey, any pay raise is a good pay raise, you'd obviously prefer a pay cut? Or perhaps you'll chip in to make the raise higher? No?

        More unfunded mandates. You're paying 36% of the cost of #txed and now you want locals to carry even more of the tax burden???

        First y'all say teachers aren't paid enough, then when Gov wants to help y'all bash him?? What is wrong with giving teachers more?

        Because he's not offering additional state funding. He's just saying teachers should get more and our local ISDs should pay. Spending OPM.

        So how do Teachers get paid more then? The money comes from somewhere, hence tax payers. State funding still comes from taxes from people.

        We actually send some of your tax $s back to Austin. Recapture. They use it for things other than #txed. State once funded 50% now its 36%.

        If it would be much easier if the State paid its fair share.

        What I am saying is that money comes from somewhere. The state funding is still taxes from the people. Wether it be state taxes or fed taxes

        That's not how the school funding model works in Texas. It is much more complex and nuanced than that I'm afraid.

        Think that they should be teachers. As long as you keep your "opinions" away from students then, yes you have free speech
