Iowa educators are celebrating the passing of a bill to raise their pay.
House File 2630 increases teachers starting salary from more than $33,000 to more than $47,000 per year. Education support personnel, including associates, would earn a minimum wage of $15.00 an hour. This is the first wage increase in more than a decade.
Now educators are lobbying the Iowa Senate and the governor to approve the measure before the end of the session.
