State education officials have approved a roster of legislative proposals topped by a teacher pay raise. The Associated Press has the details.
Focusing on easing the chronic shortage of educators in key study areas, "another solution that garnered support could involve changing policies to allow retirees to work as substitute teachers without losing retirement benefits," AP's Shaya Tayefe Mohajer reports.
The AP article notes that the wish list comes on the heels of a National Education Association report that ranked West Virginia next-to-last for teacher salaries.

Why not also focus the extra funding at the areas of chronic shortage? That's what the market does for every other product, service and salary. Why should teachers be treated differently?
