Fairfax County Superintendent Michelle Reid asked for the most significant funding increase in the county's history at more than $250 million. This money would have gone to student programs and a 6% pay raise for teachers. The county shot down her initial proposal, offering $165 million instead. Fairfax County teacher unions are pushing back, saying that the district should have honored Reid's proposal. #teacherpayraise #fyp #education #virginia2024 #union #unionstrong
