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.
