Teachers in nearly one-third of Kentucky’s school districts went without pay increases this year, according to a new report, raising concerns about educator retention and morale amid ongoing staffing shortages. The findings highlight disparities in compensation across districts, with some failing to adjust salaries despite rising costs of living and persistent teacher shortages. Advocates warn that stagnant wages could worsen the state’s struggle to attract and retain qualified educators. The report underscores broader challenges in funding public education fairly and sustainably.
