That's according to the Kentucky Association of School Administrators, which just released a survey from more than 90 public school districts.
The survey asked school district leaders to assess the impact of what is House Bill six on teacher salaries.
The two year budget plan filed by House Budget Chairman Jason Petrie does not guarantee a pay raise for all school employees, unlike the governor's proposal.
Instead, the bill would leave it up to school districts to decide whether to give pay raises to teachers and staff.
They say call the bill a step forward, but said it was still, quote, inadequate, adding that the, quote, budgetary gap will exacerbate the teacher shortage, hinder our ability to attract new individuals to the profession, and result in declining math and reading scores, end quote.
House Bill six is waiting to be heard by the House Appropriations and Revenue Committee.
