South Carolina's teachers are set to get a $1,000 pay bump on top of the raises the state's legislature passed earlier this year.

The $1,000 was a late addition to the state's budget for next year. The budget has not officially been passed, but because the state House of Representatives and Senate both added the increase to their versions of the budget, the added teacher pay is likely to stay in the final version.

The Greenville school board approved the raises at a meeting Tuesday evening, contingent upon them remaining in the state's budget.

This will boost the pay of not just teachers, but all employees on the teacher salary schedule. The state additionally included school nurses, audiologists and physical and occupational therapists in the $1,000 raises.

Bus drivers are likely to see an increase that, for Greenville County Schools, brings the entry-level pay from $16.32 to $16.57 an hour.

In Greenville County Schools, an additional $1,000 means entry-level teacher pay will go up to $42,515, one of the highest starting salaries for public school teachers in the state. The total cost of the increases is about $7.2 million, and the General Assembly is expected to fund most of it.

Earlier this year, the state passed a 2% increase for teachers along with a retroactive salary step increase starting for the 2020-21 school year, when step increases had been frozen.

The pay increases come after a school year where, statewide, teachers left classrooms at a higher rate than previous years, with burnout and tension in schools exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Superintendent Burke Royster said the Greenville district is hiring about 600 teachers for the 2021-22 school year, and about 80 of those are newly created positions.

"We could hire every teacher who graduates from education programs in the state, and we still wouldn't have enough teachers," Royster said.

Royster said nationally, low pay is one of the top reasons teachers leave the profession.

GREENVILLE, S.C. (WSPA)– June is National Men’s Health Month!

Doctors say now is a great time to encourage the men in your life to take care of their bodies.

As part of our “Ask the Expert” series, with Bon Secours St. Francis Health, 7NEWS spoke with a Urologist about enlarged prostate and how to manage symptoms.

Dr. Philip Fontenot, Urologist, Bon Secours St. Francis said, “Enlarged prostate I would say affects about 80% or more of men.”

Enlarged prostate is a condition in which the flow of urine is blocked due to enlargement of the prostate gland.

It’s pretty common as men get older, according Dr. Fontenot. “It’s a very, very common issue that we see. If you live long enough, at some point, you will be affected by an enlarged prostate.”

Men with prostate gland enlargement might find it hard to go despite the urge. Others may need to go to the restroom more often, even waking up in the middle of the night. For some, it may take longer to empty out their bladder.

These uncomfortable symptoms are a cue to see your doctor for a physical examination.

“In other cases, where we need more information, we can do ultrasound imaging, CT, or MRI to help us,” Dr. Fontenot said.

About one-third of men experience moderate to severe symptoms by age 60, and about half do so by age 80. There are several effective treatments.

According to Dr. Fontenot, “The one that has been around the longest is known as the TURP where you scrape or remove some of that prostate tissue to relieve the blockage and improve the flow of urine.”

Less invasive treatments, like a prostate lift procedure, may be an option for some patients.

“It’s an outpatient procedure. It takes about 30 minutes to do. People like it because it does not involve actually cutting or scraping anything out. It’s simply just pinning back the tissue there.” Dr. Fontenot said.

Having a family history of prostate problems or a health condition like diabetes, heart disease, or obesity might increase your risk of enlarged prostate.

Exercise can lower your risk.
