Teachers are currently taxed at a higher rate when taking school coaching and after school
Tutoring positions. They are taxed as if it is bonus pay. It should be taxed at a lower rate not a higher rate.
This would increase the participation of qualified staff to fill coaching positions and after school tutoring. Currently after taxes pay averages $2-$5 per hour to coach and $10 per hour to tutor. The current tax rate in TN is 25% for teacher extended contract positions. It would be amazing for it to be completely free of tax.
