ST. PAUL, Minn. — A bill introduced in committee by Minnesota House Democrats would address teacher pay and their share of rising healthcare costs.
Rep. Samantha Sencer-Mura of Minneapolis argued that higher health insurance premiums act like a pay cut for already-lagging teacher income. The bill includes an amendment that would set minimum salaries for teachers including $60,000 for full-time teachers without a master’s degree, and $80,000 for full-time teachers with a master’s.
The measure was laid over for possible inclusion in a larger omnibus bill.
