My relatively small school district (1100 teachers) [View all]

has 47 H1B visa holders. My own math department has 2 out of 7 total teachers. Our science department has 3 out of 5 total teachers. If we don't get an exemption from these we will likely lose these teachers. Honestly, teachers in NC are underpaid and raising salaries would likely help with recruitment. These teachers are paid around 40k as beginning teachers. That 100k is over twice their salaries.
