Salaries are relative to the location for most work groups. The solution isn't stealing teachers from other states, the solution is booting all these illegal aliens out of here, reducing the number of students to legal students, increasing class size, and raising the formula per student to increase teacher pay. States can always spend more, that's their choice, but hopefully they won't continue wasting it creating jobs for teachers by importing illegal aliens and reduced class size simply to justify additional teachers when they wouldn't have otherwise been needed.

PHOENIX (AP) -- A Texas school district has placed advertisements on Phoenix billboards in an attempt to recruit Arizona teachers to a city with higher pay.
The Fort Worth Independent School District has rented five digital billboards in Phoenix that advertise a starting teacher salary of $52,000.
School district officials say the advertisements were placed in Arizona and Oklahoma to target both new and veteran teachers following the recent protests over pay in both states.
This electronic billboard is appearing in at least 5 Arizona locations recruiting teachers for the Fort Worth, TX School District. What do you think? Smart? Too soon? Disrespectful
Does it put more pressure on AS to pay teachers more? @FOX10Phoenix @CarmenMB_Fox10#FOX10Phoenix pic.twitter.com/q0158oQ4lU

Arizona lawmakers approved a plan to hike teacher salaries after a six-day walkout by educators shut down most schools statewide.
Officials say the Fort Worth district has up to 800 job openings. The district has about 86,000 students and more than 10,000 employees.
The billboards went live on Monday and will stay up for a month.

Why do we have teachers anyway?. Once the kids know how to read, they can teach themselves.

Oklahoma starts school year short of teachers despite pay raise

By Lenzy Krehbiel-Burton
TULSA, Okla. (Reuters) - The Oklahoma Board of Education on Thursday approved a record number of emergency teacher certificates to fill a shortfall of qualified faculty that has not eased even as the state enacted its first major pay raise in a decade.
With the school year already under way in most parts of the state, the board approved 916 emergency certificates to allow educators who are not fully accredited to teach, it said. With the new certificates, the total for the current fiscal year is at 2,153, a record high.
Use of the certificates has grown quickly in recent years. In the 2011-12 year, it issued 32 emergency certificates, data showed.
Oklahoma teachers walked off the job in April, seeking more money for schools devastated by years of education funding cuts and to bolster their salaries, which had ranked among the lowest in the nation.

The strike was part of a wave by teachers in states with some of the lowest per-student spending in the country.
To prevent school closings, the Republican-dominated Oklahoma legislature approved its first tax increase in more than two decades to provide an average pay raise of $6,100 for teachers, which went into effect this month.
Joy Hofmeister, a Republican and state Department of Education superintendent, said the pay raise was a crucial step but more must be done to fix the teacher shortage.
"The challenges facing Oklahoma classrooms cannot be remedied by a one-year fix any more than one time on a treadmill makes you ready for the Olympics," she said in a social media post.
Oklahoma teachers have been leaving the state for higher wages and even with the raise, salaries elsewhere remained higher in neighboring states.
In May 2017, the annual mean wage for Oklahoma teachers was $41,880, among the lowest in the country, compared with neighbors Texas at $57,830 and Kansas at $50,470, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Republican Governor Mary Fallin, who leaves office in January due to term limits, said this week she considered the pay raise one of her biggest accomplishments.
But teachers and administrators said it did little to alleviate large class sizes, repair decaying school infrastructure or replace dilapidated text books held together with duct tape.
An Oklahoma State School Boards Association survey this month showed the state would start the school year with about 500 teaching vacancies, even with the record number of emergency certified educators.

We could pay them more if we BOOT illegal aliens out of our schools and classrooms would be smaller!
They cost us $15,000 per illegal alien...then add in ESL classes and FREE food!
GET THEM OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS
USE THAT MONEY FOR TEACHER RAISES AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES!ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM
DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL

Yes! Get the illegal aliens out of the country which means out of the schools, reduce the number of teachers needed meaning no imports from other countries and raise the pay. But remember, teachers work 9 months a year and have many vacations during the 9 months.

Seattle Teachers Vote To Strike If Deal Not Reached Over Salaries
The strike would take effect on the first day of school.
By David Barden Aug. 29, 2018
Teachers in Seattle have voted to authorize a strike after contract negotiations between their union and Seattle Public Schools failed to produce a deal over pay.
The strike is expected to take effect on September 5 ― the first day of school ― if discussions don’t result in a tentative contract.
MATT MCKNIGHT / REUTERSIn 2015, a teachers’ strike in Seattle delayed the start of the school year for more than 50,000 students.
According to The Seattle Times, the decision by the Seattle Education Association on Tuesday night followed strikes that have disrupted the first day of school in two southwest Washington districts. Additional educators are expected to take action in four more districts over the coming days.
The action stems from an order by the Washington Supreme Court in 2017 that required the state to accelerate its plan to provide more money for teachers’ salaries. Since then, lawmakers have approved billions of dollars in school funding, including $2 billion set aside for salaries.
Negotiations with the union were focused on how the funding should be distributed. A spokesperson for the Washington Education Association said the discussions presented a “once in a lifetime” opportunity for teachers to ask for a substantial pay increase.
Seattle Public Schools’ Superintendent Denise Juneau previously said in a statement that she was “optimistic there will be a positive resolution for staff, students and families.”
Another meeting is scheduled for Wednesday.
If the strike does go ahead, it won’t be the first time that Seattle teachers have walked out of class to demand higher pay. In 2015, a teachers’ strike delayed the start of the school year for more than 50,000 students.
