(The Center Square) — Georgia teachers are expected to spend $96 million of their own money on classroom supplies, more than their counterparts in several surrounding states.
A new report from MyElearningworld.com revealed that Peach State teachers plan to spend more than teachers in North Carolina , Tennessee , South Carolina and Alabama plan to spend. However, Georgia teachers plan to spend less than teachers in Florida .
"Well, first and foremost, federal lawmakers could increase the amount teachers are allowed to deduct on their federal tax returns for classroom supplies," Scott Winstead, the founder of MyElearningworld.com, told The Center Square."Right now it's only up to $300. It was $250 when the incentive first began in 2022. Would it mean more teachers? Doubtful, but it definitely could help soften the blow to teachers' wallets a little bit.
The supplement comes amid a back-and-forth on teacher pay in this year's governor's race. Republican Gov. Brian Kemp said he kept a campaign promise to increase pay for teachers.
