“”Public School Teachers Are Highest Paid State Workers””

Why are teachers considered state workers? Their salaries certainly aren’t paid by the state, are they? Aren’t all school districts the ones who pay the salaries?

A lot of questions, I know but I’m confused!!

“”Public school teachers receive greater average hourly compensation in wages and benefits than any other group of state and local government workers””

Missed the “local” government part - SORRY!

I believe it’s a state retirement system and the state sends money to each district.

In California, fully one half of the budget, 50%, goes to Education. Yes, all of those teachers are paid for out of the California State Budget.
