COLUMBIA, S.C. — Education leaders want to give teachers a pay raise of $2,000 more every year.
The plan would bring the starting teacher pay from $48,500 to $50,500.
Districts will have the option of paying above that, according to the Herald.
Lawmakers are expected to return to Columbia to discuss the proposal in January.
