Budget deal would cut teacher salaries nearly 2 percent
Pay cuts for teachers, administrators and most other school employees are part of the moves state lawmakers are making today to balance the next budget.
Salaries for teachers would be trimmed 1.9 percent and for administrative staff by 3 percent under the budget proposal expected to clear the Legislature on this final day of special session.
And those wage cuts may be permanent as lawmakers are not promising to put the money back in anytime soon.
