This report is generated from data submitted by education agencies annually as of the third Friday in September on the PI-1202 Fall Staff Report. The report only provides data for public school districts. (Omitted are staff hired by CESAs, County Children with Disabilities Education Boards, non-district sponsored charter schools, and state schools and facilities.) The report provides the low salary, high salary, average salary, average fringe, average local experience, and average total experience for staff in each public school district. Data are based on the full-time equivalent (FTE) sum of an individual's position assignments, being greater than 94 percent, and the months employed, being greater than eight. Information is not included if the assignment was for an intern.

People got laid off all the time, or found their jobs shipped out somewhere else.
Only the really outstanding employees survived the system.
Some parts of Department of Defense are worse.
Local school teachers have about as close as you can get to permanent employment, but that only applies if they never move and only take vacations at times specified by their employers.
Corporations shouldn’t be taxed!
When i ran a corporation every tax was passed on to the customer plus overhead and profit!!!
BUSINESS DON’T PAY TAXES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For 35 years the same drum beat has been played:
Teachers are so underpaid, teachers are so unappreciated, teachers have it so hard.
Because it is (was) such a honered profession, and was held in high esteem, once their initial demands (which were legit at the time) and complaints were recognized, and an attempt made to ‘solve’ the problem, it became set in concrete. Every year it’s the same sh*t until we have what we have now.
In the meantime? Well the U.S.A. is number one at being able to use condoms appropriately, homosexual sex can be described in graphic detail by any 8 year old (and probably younger), the extinction of the polar bear is foremost on the youth’s minds, and abortion, well ask any grade school, jr. high kid and they’ll tell you, everyone has the right to kill their child.
Yes, we’ve managed to create a hideous collective monster by trying to reward our teachers. And look how we have been, and are being, repayed: we have teachers that bed their students. They have, and continue to, indoctrinate the kids with communist, marxist, anti capitalist philosphies; all the while screaming “we want more!”.
And like clockwork, every year, property taxes continue to skyrocket, as well as the sales taxes in various communities. It’s never enough and it will never be enough.
It’s best this comes to a ‘head’ right now and if that means someone gets hurt, so be it.
/rant off only temporarily
Wow...
I guess that about says it all.
You are correct. My wife, a teacher, had to teach 180 days per year but she also had to be at the school for an additional 20 "teacher work days". That's a grand total of 40 weeks, or 10 months, per year. Teachers had the option of getting their pay in 10 monthly checks or, if they wanted their pay to be annualized, 12 monthly checks.
intellectual consistency is the enemy of the small mind.
It’s alarming that on a conservative, pro-capitalist site, members are totally ignorant on the difference between public (govt) sector and private sector wealth. Stunning
You are equating the salaries of public employees with private employees. That renders your point meaningless. There are a lot more teachers than CEOs.
You are absolutely correct..these salaries are unbelievable. I’m in a small town in Kansas and I can guarantee you there are probably several administrators making the same amount...and they wonder “why” we want to reign in the spending.
well said
I realize that teaching can be a stressful job, but it is not as stressful or dangerous as other public service sector jobs.
I sure hope that Police Officers and Firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians get at least that much.
If not he police and firefighter and emergency medical services unions better start screaming.
Compensation of public servants is every taxpayers business!
Public servants should be paid at least 20% less than private business employees to compensate for their guarnteed job and benefits.
Bump for additional views...
“Is 1 million dollars too much to pay a corporate banker?”
It all depends. If in the judgement of the owners of the company, that is the board and stock-holders.... that million-dollar-a-year employee brings as much or MORE than a million dollars worth of value to that bank, than yes, of course he’s worth it.
If he’s not worth it, in the competitive banking industry, that bank will sooner or later bite the dust—provided it isn’t paid-off by government/taxpayer money.
Do Bill Gates or Steve Jobs make too much money? Has Windows (etc) or the Iphone (etc) NOT been a benefit worth billions of dollars to society at large, spread out to many hundreds of millions of people? Have those two individuals not brought in MUCH MORE value to their companies, the world at large, and eventually, to you and me.... than their companies compensate them with?
Any other answer than yes, indicates one with either a Marxist or a Fascist mentality....
Capitol grows with innovation, and innovation cannot exist in a fascist, government-controls-everything-just-to-make-it-fair tyranny. Such a system is un-American, and frankly, just plain stupid.
Since when do private employees get taxpayer funded bonuses in the millions of dollars. I’m pretty sure they’re public employees whether or not they want to admit it.
Sadly, I’ve been here long enough to know that these are either self-interested a-holes or mis-guided useful idiots.
Is a taxpayer funded million dollar bonus too much? for a banker that loses billions of dollars and cost the taxpayers trillions of dollars.
There how’s that for you.
I hope you’re intentionally being obtuse...
I know I’m not going to change the mnds of the sheep, So I’m bored with shaking your tree. I’ll be back later to have another laugh.
In the mean time, keep kissing corporate but in the name of patriotism!!!
Both parties to a contract are expected to deliver. Our nation's "teachers" haven't lived up to their end for decades.
If you don’t stop making sense someone’s going to get mad...
