Booker, Schiff, Hayes, Larson, Takano Reintroduce Bicameral Legislation to Boost Teacher Compensation

Press Release

"Teachers are invaluable in shaping the minds and futures of our children, yet they are often undervalued and undercompensated. This bill will right this wrong by putting tax money back in teachers' pockets and closing the wage gap. By providing refundable tax credits and increasing the educator tax deduction, we can uplift our educators and ensure they have the resources they need to provide a high-quality education for all students. I am proud to join my colleagues in introducing this legislation, and I will continue to champion efforts to support the teaching workforce."
