In his State of the State address, Governor Greg Abbott laid out several education overhauls. Some will be more difficult to pass than others. On the basic idea - most lawmakers will likely agree on teacher pay raises. After his speech, Gov. Abbott spoke to NBC 5's media partners at the Dallas Morning News. “We want to make sure we’re putting teachers on a pathway to make a six-figure salary, many of which are already doing that in the Dallas area, and we will expand that across the state," said Abbott. He's aiming for across-the-board raises and then more new money will go to expand a teacher incentive program for performance-based pay or merit pay. Keep up with Lone Star Politics on NBCDFW.com
