Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson has signed into law a measure that will raise the minimum for teachers salaries in the state by $4,000 over the next four years. Hutchinson on Monday signed the bill to raise the minimum starting salary in 168 of the state’s 235 school districts beginning in the 2019-20 school year. The remaining districts are already paying the minimum salary requirements laid out in the legislation. The new law will raise teacher salary districts must pay to $36,000 by the 2022-23 school year. Hutchinson has called for setting aside $60 million for districts to comply with the new minimum salary requirement.
