This is the exception rather than the rule. Some Districts do pay this much for teachers who have lots of years of service usually around 20 to 25 years.A member of my family is a first year teacher and the salary is $42,000. Not out line by any means and this is the more common salary level.

That was a little higher than the starting pay in my old school district on LI. But the AVERAGE was $85K per year, and many teachers make over $100K.

Wow! That's not bad in comparison. My husband wanted to be a teacher, but the starting salary was $28,000 in our state.
