Charles Town Teachers Could See $101K Salaries with New Bill
WV teacher pay raises would be contingent on area’s home values, according to Senate bill
The Herald Dispatch | Wednesday, March 19, 2025
A proposed Senate bill aims to link teacher pay raises to median home values, potentially allowing educators in affluent areas, like Charles Town and Ranson, to see significant salary increases. For instance, teachers in these wealthier localities could see salaries surge beyond $101,000, impacting just 25 counties statewide, as noted by the West Virginia Board of Education. This approach raises concerns about equitable pay distribution among educators in less affluent regions, leaving many without the same opportunities for increased compensation, according to The Herald Dispatch.
