Simpson Wants Teachers at the Schools for the Blind, Deaf to Receive Raise

Senator Frank Simpson wants to make sure the teachers at the Schools for the Blind and Deaf are part of a proposed teacher pay raise. The teachers at those specialty schools are not paid through the Department of Education. They receive their compensation through the Department of Rehabilitative Services. As legislation for a $5,000 raise is currently written, the teachers at the Schools for the Blind and Deaf could be left out of a pay increase for public school teachers.

“Our teachers at the schools for our deaf and blind children perform a wonderful job.  Being special education teachers, they face challenges that teachers in our public schools may not face,” said Simpson.  “If any teacher deserves a pay raise, it is these devoted teachers.  I will work to make sure they are not overlooked.”
