South Carolina educators make less money than other comparable college-educated workers. This is known as the “teacher pay gap.”
This pay gap has grown significantly over time – more than doubling over the past decade - and is a key contributor to the educator shortage.
FYI - At 4pm the Governor will order the closing of all schools in the State of South Carolina starting tomorrow, Monday, March 16th. Schools will remain closed through the end of the month - March 31st. This includes K-12 schools and all universities and colleges. #COVID19
