Teachers have gotten one raise in the last 12 years and that was 580$ a year roughly 1%.
Louisiana is at the bottom of of teacher pay average in the country and education scores is a result of that. Good teachers are leaving because we don't pay them.
I agree the state has a multitude of problems but saying teacher pay should be down the list is being willfully ignorant of one of the major problems in this state.
How do you judge merit? Do teachers that teach advanced classes get a raise because they are gifted with children who's intelligence is greater than the average student. Do special needs teachers get the shaft while having arguably the more difficult job. Do we really want the government deciding who gets what raises based on test scores that don't tell the whole story?
Or do we at least try to get teacher average pay in line with the rest of the country so the talented teachers stop leaving the state.
I like the latter option but you can continue to push your bad narrative.

The teachers should get a raise but it should come from the bloated salaries of school administrations and cutting positions in the central offices

You do it by having two tests for each class/subject taught. One at the beginning of the year. One at the end. Same level of difficulty, same level of skills tested, but different tests. All grades by teachers given a set answer key with all the tests anonymous. None of the tests are to be multiple choice.
If you take a kid from getting a zero to getting a 35, you did a hell of a job. If you take a kid from a 99 to a 100, congrats but the kid was already proficient.
But if you take a kid from a 50 to a 51, what the frick did you actually do?

The state only provides some of the teacher’s salary. Haven’t local school boards provided teachers with pay raises?
Have teachers gotten raises to pay for their health insurance? I know with health insurance costs escalating under Obama a lot of employers could not provide raises on the check, but were increasing contributions to cover health insurance?
What’s the big picture?

Teachers HAVE received pay raises. This is just the first one that is a state mandated across the board pay increase.
Individual teachers have received increases. Your statement is dishonest.
That's not to say that an increase isn't warranted, but at least be honest.

Louisiana ranks last in education. Texas about 25th. Both spend the about the exact same amount per teacher on teacher salaries. What is really eye opening is the Texas has better school facilities (by a mile) but their overhead, as measured by $ per student, is 1/2 of Louisiana.
SO that tells me that Louisiana School Boards are not educational systems but really are Jobs Programs.
ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
