COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Teachers, state employees and supporters are agitating for a raise at the Statehouse.
A few hundred people gathered Saturday at the Capitol in Columbia to demand a pay increase from state legislators. Their call for action included demanding increased funding for schools and higher teacher salaries.
The State newspaper reports one of the teachers attending the rally was Newberry County elementary school teacher Kayla Lawson. The 24-year-old says she’s holding down four jobs beyond teaching full time.
