I don't know about taxes in Kentucky but I'm assuming people in the state want to pay as little in taxes as possible. This is the result. How will they pay bus drivers higher salaries to attract them and hire more drivers without raising revenue via higher taxes? I'm going to make a wild guess that teacher and school staff pay is also terrible in Kentucky.
Also, the articles mention that school staff is waiting with the kids. So they are out at the bus stops till 930pm? Are they getting paid overtime for this? Do they have children of their own?
What have Mitchell McConnell and Rand Paul said about this situation in their state?
Most of the sources seem to agree with this assessment
Not great pay for teachers
40,000-60,000
My wife has a masters in education. Left teaching after 5 years in Kentucky and never broke 40k.
Jefferson County was one of two counties in all of Kentucky to go blue in 2020. It did so by a 60-40 margin.
