Show by Professional Development Inc — Education news from every state, every school day.
Part one of a four-part Guam series. The 2026 Educator Pay Plan is approved — a fifteen percent market adjustment for educators and five percent for administrators — but the Guam Department of Education says the money is not there: the Administration's own study prices the teacher increase at $23,673,000 a year, the superintendent puts the full program at about $26 million, the independent-authority bill that promised ninety-five percent of the national average was vetoed on October 30, and federally funded Head Start teachers sit outside every fix proposed so far.
