I'm with Rich, "for the kids" is typically just a canard meant to shut down the debate through guilt.

Public schoolteacher salaries are typically public record. If I were the officials, I would've had these numbers at hand whenever anyone suggested officials should work for the same amount of money or get one raise in 21 years.
