As a parent I see 80% of our one-time funding and all of our COLA being utilized for teacher salaries. What is the best way to advocate getting this money to give to direct intervention and specialized aids rather than lining the teachers pockets?

As much as the CTA blindly makes you believe it, higher teacher salaries are not resulting in higher level of education for kids as evident in our reading and comprehension benchmarks and in CA school dashboards.
