Hi Peter: I was on a local school board 6 years ago. At that time, the starting pay was $16K (BA/BS degree + teaching certificate). At 20 years it was $48K. Principles where around $55-60K. Benefits were additional. Don't know what the current figures are. What I saw was lots of singles (more women than men) entering the teaching profession, then dropping out after a few years, for marriage or higher pay elsewhere. It was almost like the system was predicated on having a constant supply of teachers at the low end of the payscale (since they never accumulated enough years). The older teachers were getting OK pay, good benefits, and they stay until retirement. Unfortunately, they sometimes end up not being as in touch with the kids as younger teachers. The problem is that even a very good, very experienced teacher still does the exact same work as the rookie. If the rookie is 1/3 the pay, why not try to keep a large fraction of the payroll at that level? Especially with tight school budgets.
