💨 Abstract

Virginia increased teacher pay by an average of $3,000, but remains stagnant compared to other states according to a National Education Association report. The commonwealth dropped to 26th in average teacher pay at $66,327, $5,703 below the national average. Education leaders acknowledge the need for further investment to close the salary gap, improve teacher retention, and attract new educators.
