Proclamation in Travis County declares 'Social Work Month' to recognize social workers' contributions, challenges faced, and need for increased support.
County commissioners urged to address underfunding and low compensation for social workers, emphasizing the importance of investment and policy changes.
Social worker starting salaries in Travis County proposed to be reduced by the consulting firm Segal, prompting concerns and disagreement among commissioners.
'What we got was a spreadsheet that included demotions, and it included pay cuts with no explanation,' said Mental Health Public Defender director Melissa Shearer about the consulting firm's study.
