JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – As a new school year starts, Republican State Representative Ben Keathley of Chesterfield is keeping an eye on the dollars.
“I think the expectation is that students are going to receive more direct services,” he said. “Whether that be more teachers, better pay for the teachers, or other services.”
Earlier this year, Keathley wrote House Bill 2344, which passed through committee. It would allow a superintendent’s salary to be no more than 5.5 times that of a minimum teacher’s salary in the same district. The minimum teacher pay in Missouri is $40,000, so if a district paid that rate, the superintendent’s salary would be capped at $220,000.
