The AR legislature allocated an average of $73,180 per teacher for salary and benefits in the 2022-23 school year. $57,208 for base salary & remaining for benefits (health insurance, retirement, etc).
Why aren’t districts allocating this full amount to teachers? #arleg #arpx

In addition to the funds outlined above (which are disbursed through foundation funding via the matrix), the state provides additional $$$ via the Teacher Salary Equalization (TSE) Fund to help districts increase teacher salaries to meet the state’s target average of $51,822.
If a district’s average teacher salary is less than $51,822, they qualify to receive the supplemental $$ via TSE. 226 districts qualified to receive these supplemental funds in 2022-23.

If the legislature is allocating $57,208 per teacher for salary, why are 226 districts well below that (<$51,822)?
Research confirms a classroom teacher is THE MOST important in-school factor for student success.
Why are we paying teachers thousands ($5,000+!) less than legislature is allocating?
