HOUSTON ― U
.S. Sen. Kamala Harris on Saturday officially announced her proposal to make what she says would be the largest federal investment in teacher pay in U.S. history.
Speaking before 2,400 people at Texas Southern University, Harris decried the pay gap between teachers and similarly educated college graduates, which her campaign places at 11 percent. “Some of them are paying out of their own pocket to pay for school supplies,” Harris said. “That ain’t right.” “The question is what’s the return on the investment,” Harris said. “On this, the investment will be our future.”Some 3.6 million people worked full time as teachers as of 2016, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
