Arizona has a teacher shortage crisis. There is broad community support for competitive salaries and the AEU demands an increase of 20% to address this crisis. A 20% increase will create competitive high school teacher salaries with surrounding states except California, although it still falls well short of the national average. Elementary school teacher salaries will approach a competitive level with surrounding states and also fall well short of the national average. Hundreds of businesses, community organizations, and education groups support the Expect More Arizona Progress Meter that sets a goal of reaching the national average within fi ve years. Unlike other proposals, the AEU 20% demand moves the needle on the Progress Meter.

Arizona’s median elementary school teacher pay ranks 50th in the nation, while median pay for secondary school teachers ranks 49th. If we expect student achievement to improve and our communities to thrive, Arizona’s teacher salaries must be competitive with other states. Our goal – reach the national median for elementary teacher pay in five years.
