House Passes Teacher Pay Bill

The House of Delegates voted unanimously today to send the Senate its heftier version of Gov. Joe Manchin's pay proposal for teachers and school service personnel.

The House would give both 3.5 percent raises. The governor had requested a 2.5 percent increase for educators and a bonus-type payment to service workers.

As I noted earlier, Manchin has reconsidered his stance on pay issues this session.
