Teacher pay is a small part of a giant puzzle of how to keep public schools running smoothly and effectively. Funding a school receives, however, can have an impact on a student’s experience. This elementary school in Chesterfield, South Carolina knows all about it. In the eyes of a kindergartener, school is just school, and they believe it's the same for everyone. However, their teacher, Natalie Melton, knows that's anything but true."It’s absolutely not fair,” she says. “All children deserve the same opportunity. All teachers deserve the same opportunity to use the same things to teach them.”But the way schools get their funds is part of a system that’s been in place since the mid-1970s.It’s a system superintendent Harrison Goodwin says needs to change.“It’s never going to be equal, because the resources that children are born into are never gonna be equal,” Goodwin says. “What we have to find is some way to make up for the equity of it.”Schools get their money from a mix of federal state and local sources, but nearly half their funds come from local property taxes. Chesterfield is a high-poverty, rural community. It's a problem faced by educators in states across the U.S.“At this school, we're probably about 70 to 72 percent high poverty,” Goodwin says.In South Carolina, he says there is a direct correlation between poverty and test scores.It means schools feel the need to do more with less. If Melton could send one message to the nation’s politicians, it’s this.“I would implore them to rethink some of the decisions they made to allocate things for education,” she says. “Every child deserves an opportunity to learn just like everyone else, no matter where you’re from, no matter where your parents are from or how much money your parents make. Any of that, all that, should be the same.” 1830

The new year brings a new Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes, as Steve Harvey and the Prize Patrol gear up for another year of big prizes, including ,000 a year for life.Unfortunately, scammers are also gearing up to impersonate them, as one family learned. They sure could use that ,000 now to make up for the money they just lost to a scam.Official PCH letter arrives in mailLarenda Jackson and her mom, Annie Williams, have always dreamed of the Prize Patrol coming to their home. So when a letter arrived with an official seal and the signature of PCH's Dave Sayer, the older woman thought her ship had come in."He said I won," Williams said. "I won million."The letter explained she would receive million in the next few weeks, and that they were sending a check along with the letter to cover her insurance and attorney fees.So Williams followed the instructions, depositing the ,000 check in her PNC bank account, then sending ,000 of it to the "attorneys" once the deposit cleared."Mom was leery about it," daughter Larenda Jackson said. "But when they said the cash was available, the check cleared, she figured if she sent anything it was the check they sent her."She claims the bank told her the check had cleared. "Yes, I'm displeased with the bank because they said the funds were available," Jackson said.But a few days later, the women got some bad news from PNC Bank. "They said the ,000 check was insufficient, and that you have overdraft fees," Jackson said. In addition, she says the bank was asking her mother to return ,000 to them before they would allow her further access to her account — money she no longer had.It was all a scam.Warning signs of a PCH scam 1716

The Colorado-based burrito chain Illegal Pete’s has been up and running for over two decades, and the company now has nearly a dozen locations. “[Business has] been great for us,” said the chain’s founder Pete Turner.And it got even greater, Turner says, after an epiphany of sorts a few years ago. He thought to himself, “’What can this business be?’ And really, who is the face of the business? It’s the employees.”In 2015, Turner made a pledge—one that was practically unheard of at the time—to raise the minimum wages of his employees from an hour to . His plan was to increase pay gradually over three years.This month, that wage goes into effect.“Our employees are going to be able to live more comfortably [and have] fulfilled lives.,” he says. “They’ll be able to be more engaged in their job.”Employees like Kristina Keeling, who works in an entry-level position at Illegal Pete’s, says she knows firsthand how big of a difference those extra few dollars an hour make.“If I am surviving better in the world, then I’m going to come to work feeling a little bit better,” Keeling said. “Maybe feeling a little more positive about the world and I think I can give that and share that with the customers as well.”The federal minimum wage hasn’t changed since 2009, and it still sits at .25 an hour. However, many states have raised it on their own. Now, the nation is a hodgepodge of wages, and in some cases, large companies are now leading the way. Amazon, Target and Disney have announced they’ll pay employees an hour. However, critics argue small businesses will suffer if forced to pay an hour. The result may be to lay off workers or reduce hours.But Leo Gertner, with the National Employment Law Project, says when it’s done slowly, it works.“All of these changes have been extremely gradual,” Gertner explains. “Cents over time, and companies have been able to absorb the costs, including small businesses.”That’s how things are done at Illegal Pete’s. Turner’s mantra: make a slow buck, not a quick one.“It’s just nice to know we’ve got, let’s say, 380 people in Colorado that are able to live the lives they want to, go to school, grow in this company, get married, have kids, buy a house, and still work here,” Turner says. 2272

The city of Paradise, California is literally being rebuilt from ashes.“November 8th is a day nobody around here will ever forget,” said Rick Carhart, of Cal FIRE Butte County. “The first time I drove through Paradise my impression was It looked more like a bomb went off or a war zone than a fire went through.”The small city in northern California saw the state's biggest and most deadly wildfire ever.Carhart says it cost more than million to fight this inferno, which was named the Camp Fire.“There are still a lot of raw emotions and feelings even among our firefighters,” he said.After firefighters put out the last flames, the Camp Fire had claimed 86 lives and destroyed more than 13,000 houses, including the home of the town mayor. “It’s a sick feeling,” said Paradise Mayor Jody Jones of losing her house to the fire.Jones is one of many that are now building new houses in Paradise. “It’s an arduous process to rebuild,” she said. “We’re really pioneers. We’re building a whole entire town from scratch.”Despite tens of millions of dollars coming in from state and federal funding, some in this town still don’t have enough money to rebuild. “Before, we used to play it month by month,” said Jonathan Valdez, a longtime Paradise resident, who lost his house in the fire. “Now we play it day by day.” Valdez is now living in an RV and paying 0 a month in gas to keep generators running for electricity.“At times its rough,” he said. “But you got to make the best of it.”Fueled by high winds and dry conditions, the Camp Fire spread fast, burning down areas the size of football fields in just a few moments.At Paradise High School, students, staff and the community are starting the healing process through sports.More than 5,000 people came out to watch the Bobcats play their first game since the fire. A number Paradise High School head coach Rick Prinz says is an amazing for this town that lost 90 percent of its 26,000 residents.“Although many people have left and had to live somewhere else,” Prinz said. “It says a lot that so many would come back and participate in that one event.”From football season to now a new fire season, the people of Paradise are moving on as painful as it may be.“I’m 91 years old,” said Paradise local Ramona Balken. “To start over at 91 is not very much fun.”Balken lost everything she owned in the Camp Fire and she didn’t have renter’s insurance. Despite not being compensated for her losses, Balken still supports how her elected officials are handling this disaster.“They’re doing everything they can,” she said. “This is a good town. We have good people here.” 2633
