A teacher leads a literacy exercise in Red River Parish, where salaries are the highest in the state, in June 2021.

Teacher pay is a huge issue in Louisiana. Educators make less here than almost anywhere else in the country — about $12,000 less a year than the national average.

If you’re an educator, we want to know what you think.

Tell us what it’s like to live on a teacher’s wage in Louisiana. Answer any of the questions in the form below (or send a voice memo to aubri@wwno.org), and we might reach out for an interview.

The deadline is March 8.

Aubri Juhasz covers K-12 education, focusing on charter schools, education funding, and other statewide issues. She also helps edit the station’s news coverage.
