State Representative Clark Boyd has successfully guided House Bill 946 through the Tennessee House of Representatives.
The measure — which is part of the Governor’s legislative package this year — improves transparency within our state’s education system by requiring Local Education Agencies to report to the Department of Education how additional funds are used every year an local education agency receives increased funding from the state for salaries and wages.
According to Representative Boyd, “Our teachers work tirelessly to solidify the academic foundations of Tennessee’s current and future leaders. We must ensure they are receiving the salaries and pay increases they have earned. I am proud to have carried this bill, which will increase transparency on the subject of teacher pay.”
House Bill 946 ensures taxpayer funding allocated to schools is being used responsibly and to support our educators who play a critical role in the current and future success of our state. The bill now heads to Governor Lee’s desk for his signature.
