Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress
assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE
This act may be cited as the Hard Working Teachers Act of 2017.
SECTION 2. FINDINGS
Congress hereby finds and declares that,
1)Other professions with very similar training and responsibilities have much higher starting salaries than
teachers.
2) Public school teachers, especially in small districts have less health benefits than private school teachers.
3)Our future generations depend on their education being taught by teachers
4) Paying teachers more include the potential increase in teacher satisfaction, the attraction of higherquality candidates to teaching positions.
5)With paying teachers more, there will be an increased number of people wanting to teach resulting in
better teachers giving our students a better education.
6) More teachers will keep their jobs with an increased salary.
7)If more teachers keep their jobs, we can save the money for training new and inexperienced teachers for
current teacher salaries.
8) Low salaries encourage teachers to quit and every time a teacher quits district money is used trying to
find a replacement.
9) With teachers having no need to find a seconds job they will be able to devote more time and effort into
teaching.
10) It is not fair, majority of teachers have to spend nearly all their vacation time planning lessons, grading
paper, etc.
11) Incentives for teachers to pursue continued higher education and the elimination of the need for
teachers to obtain secondary jobs.
12) If we want to attract, retain, and motivate the best and the brightest, we need to raise the starting
salaries of teachers to be competitive with other professions
13) Most teachers pay for their own graduate school and ongoing professional training, and over 92 percent
buy supplies for their students out of their own pockets.
14) More and more teachers are wanting to move schools because pay is better someplace else, if everyone
started out with the same salary this would not be relevant.
SECTION 3. STATUTORY LANGUAGE
A) The Hard Working Teachers Act of 2017 will raise public teachers salary demanding everyone starts
with a starting salary of at least $60,000 a year. The average starting salary for public school teachers is
only around $36,000 but every teachers salary will be raised to $60,000. No teacher will have a lower
starting salary, everyone will be equal and start out with at least $60,000. You may have a starting salary of
over $70,000 but no less.
B) This law shall be enforced and upheld by the Department of Education. It will also be upheld by the
Department of Special Education depending if it is a teacher for special education. Each state will
determine how to fund its educational system. Using taxes-generally sales tax and income tax- is a common
solution to increase teacher salary.
C)This law shall go in effect into January 1, 2017. It will expire December 31, 2042, lasting 25 years. If
failure to do so your district will be punished with a fine of $5,000.
