I keep reading about teacher’s unions and strikes complaining about low teacher’s pay. All I know is when I look at a local district pay listing on the state database the salaries range from 70 to 100 thousand with administrators 100 to 200 plus. They get pensions that pay up to 75% of their last day salary, medical plans, guaranteed incremental raises and raises for educational advancement. Mean while our county has the second highest property taxes in the country and districts are striking for more money. The only low salaries are in really rural areas and starting pay which is designed to control the supply of teachers.
