Guilford Teachers Face Unclear Tax Boost

A new bill could bring big changes for Guilford County teachers — but the details are still fuzzy. Senate Bill 1074 would let the county raise its sales tax by a quarter-cent, generating $50 million annually, with $10 million earmarked for teacher pay raises. But County Manager Frank Woelfel warns the bill’s language is too vague to guarantee teacher funding.

The debate’s on: will teachers actually get that extra cash — or is it all up in the air? Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
