(ABC 6 News) – In Des Moines, Iowa lawmakers reached across the aisle to raise teacher’s salaries.
House File 2611 would raise teacher’s pay from $33,500 to $50,000 a year.
The bill would also raise the minimum wage for bus drivers and paraprofessionals to $15 an hour.
The bill passed in the House by a 93-1 vote.
The bill now heads to the state Senate where, if passed, will then await the governor’s approval.
