The City of San Antonio is in the process of considering a teacher homebuyer incentive program to keep educators in public school classrooms.
SAN ANTONIO - While the program would financially help teachers, council members say ultimately, it’s an investment in public education.
McKee-Rodriguez is spearheading the movement, and the program request was just sent to the planning and community development committee for initial discussions. “The state has not given a pay raise to teachers in a long time, the school districts haven’t even gotten finding they usually get to provide very good pay raises themselves, so I think it’s been a challenge for people to decide to remain in education,” said Councilman Courage.
“It’s kind of up in the air right now, it still has to be a conversation that happens at the committee level, and we have to decide if we do a pilot program, how many teachers we hope to assist and how much do we think would be an average cost,” said Councilman McKee-Rodriguez.
