My wife was a highschool teacher before she quit to raise a family. Here in northern PA I just saw an ad for the local district paying $82,000 to start. The average family income in our county is under $30,000.

We lose a lot of teachers who do just that--stay home to raise a family. A number of our teachers at my current school did that and came back later to teach. $82,000???? That's even WAY beyond the highest salary here. :)
It sounds as if your area is a low-income one. Is the income per capita or per household?
Sounds like maybe it was a typo in your newspaper or maybe they were talking about the Superintendent's job. If not, send me the ad and I'll get my resume in right away! LOL........NOT!
