Nixa School Board Votes To Raise Teacher Pay

Teachers in the Nixa Public School District are getting a raise. School Board President Joshua Roberts says every teacher will get a raise of between 4.5% and 5%. 

Roberts says the district has also added bereavement leave to its benefits package. 

The board also made changes that will allow teachers to get raises even after 30 years of teaching. 

Roberts says the raises and other benefits will help the district stay competitive in attracting and keeping teachers.
