Senate Declines to Immediately Take Up Teacher Raises

The West Virginia Senate has decided not to immediately consider a bill to raise pay for teachers, school service workers and state police.

Gov. Jim Justice asked the Senate to pass the bill "as soon as possible." Justice requested the raises last fall.

West Virginia teachers are primed and ready to walk out again, if the Senate doesn't get their act together. And there are a lot more teachers in West Virginia than coal miners!
