Gym teachers here are often among the highest paid members of the bargaining unit -- earning up to $70,000 (not incl benefits or coaching fees) for 190 days a year of pretty soft work.

Interesting!!!! On the coaching fees, any idea what they might be? Do they get paid any more (or less) for winning (or losing)?????

A few thousand dollars per sport, IIRC.

No.

Eerie - I can compare Texas public schools to those in Pennsylvania - Where Texas has 4 or 5 full time staff members for the football team, PA had a couple of teachers who were paid a little extra to be the football coaches - they hired outside people in some cases - I know for a fact the Baseball coach was not a school employee, nor was the volleyball coach. I thought that was not a good practice because you had no real control over someone hired for one season. The pay was minimal though -

To the best of my knowledge, Texas does not allow anyone to coach if they are not a district employee/teacher -
