Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are focused on increasing pay for Indiana teachers, but disagree on how to make that happen.

We want to hear from Hoosier teachers: Do you support efforts to raise salaries? Have you had to make tough financial decisions because of low pay? What do you wish lawmakers understood better about your work?

Share any experience about what it's like to be a teacher in Indiana with the current salary structure and/or what you hope to see in the future.
