Some people are asking questions about the teacher pay raise passed last week by the Oklahoma House and Senate.  

The raise is a perament adjustment to the state law that sets minimum teacher salaries in the state.  The bills would provide an average teacher pay raise of approximately $6,100 via increases in the minimum salary schedule ranging from $5,001 for a starting teacher with a bachelor's degree to $8,395 for a teacher with a doctorate and 25 or more years of experience. They would also provide a $1,250 wage increase for school support employees.

Reportedly an additional $50 million would be available to fund textbooks and school operations across the state. 

HERE is a copy of that bill with the particulars.
