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 education, focusing on New Orleans' charter schools, school funding and other statewide issues. She also helps edit the station’s news coverage.
