Seattle's supplemental pay was the lowest among 12 area school districts when the contract was signed in 2004. Now, the district is fifth on one measure outlined in the contract — the maximum supplemental pay that can be earned by teachers with a master's degree. Teachers with that education and experience will earn a total of $79,716 this year, up about $6,800 over last year, according to the union. (That increase includes a 4.4 percent cost-of-living increase from the state as well as the jump in supplemental pay.) On the other key measure — supplemental pay for brand-new teachers — Seattle now ranks first among the 12 districts. First-year teachers with bachelor's degrees will earn $42,005 this school year, the union said, about $3,900 more than new teachers earned last year. seattletimes.nwsource.com
