Anne Arundel residents advocate for higher salaries for teachers, school nurses, library staff at budget hearings

Across two budget hearings this month, residents urged the Anne Arundel County Council to consider raises for school nurses and library staff similar to those slated for teachers in the upcoming fiscal year. County Executive Steuart Pittman’s proposed fiscal 2024 budget of $2.14 billion includes fully funding Anne Arundel County Public Schools’ request for teacher raises and exceeds state requirements from the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future education overhaul.
