Who paid for the panels & installation?
I just checked the salaries today is 12/27/21 and The estimated salary for a Elementary School Teacher is $19.82 per hour in Batesville Arkansas that puts the salary at 38,000 so there has been absolutely no increase in salary. What we are missing here is the initial cost to create these solar panels which is approximately 7.5 million to install these panels and also to maintain and replace so its impossible to initially save money and give raises, you wouldnt see the saving until decades later. There are no buildings that run 100% off of solar its always a hybridization of both fuel and solar. To some they could be fooled by a news story like this but to the critical thinker and one who thinks in terms of math and logic. This story is full of half trues and lies.
Love her swag
BRILLIANT!!
What a great story…the America I know.
Electric shool buses driven by teachers doubles the pay up to 100K $
Green energy: Saving the Earth is a win-win! Don't let politicians paid off by the dirty energy sector tell you any different!! π

Good story!
Those same teachers that donβt wanna get back to teaching??? π€ πππ
This is bs. These systems barely pay off over time….. yes monthly a school could be saving some $. But this is bs. Wake up
We have better energy technology they just need to released to the public
Offset property taxes!
teachers make nothing! 45k a year? thats before tax! teachers are essential. this is a win! good luck teachers. look at liberal science and energy activism saving red states! clean energy for the win!
Teachers are junk they should be losing 15,000
American schools need to teach accurate history, not American settlers version of it. π€
So the only way to convince Republicans that renewable energy is the future is to give them more in their paychecks? π€
please forgive my question, but how much ammo and weapons / kevlar vests can each teacher buy with this raise?
Could have showed this many years ago! But fossil fuel was still pulling strings on media and administration! Sad!
So this is about cutting utility fees and those savings could be used on teachers? Great idea!
Awww what an amazing story π
I dont care what anyone says, I see this as an absolute win, of you dislike this you got a problem
wow no way, you can save money by using renewable energy and then give it to the working class? in america? my head nearly just exploded
Republicans hate this
