LOS ANGELES - A proposed law in California aims to give teachers a 50% raise by 2030.
Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance), Chair of the Assembly Education Committee, on Wednesday introduced Assembly Bill 938, a measure that would do just that, something he said would help close the current wage gap between teachers and similarly educated college graduates in other fields.
The bill is supported by organizations including the California Federation of Teachers (CFT), California Teachers Association (CTA), and the California School Employees Association (CSEA).
"Schools across the state are facing a workforce crisis, with many teachers and school employees unable to afford to live in the communities that they work in," Muratsuchi said.
Specifically, AB 938 would create state Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) funding targets over a seven-year period, with the specific intent of increasing school-site staff salaries by 50% by 2030. The bill would establish targets for the state grant to be increased by 50% by fiscal year 2030-31, while requiring school districts to report their progress in meeting the 50% increase in salaries over a seven-year period.

Should've been earlier than 2025, but it's a nice step in a good direction.
