Teacher pay raise bill gives 'false hope,' Oklahoma Senate leader saysOKLAHOMA CITY — Legislative leaders appear to be far apart in their beliefs about whether a teacher pay raise will be funded this year.

It would phase in a teacher pay raise starting with $1,000 for fiscal year 2018, which begins July 1. A $1,000 raise would cost about $52 million, but the measure does not have a funding source. Additional raises would be $2,000 and then $3,000.
