$100,000 minimum wage? Last year, no state offered a starting salary of $60,000. Policy think tanks across the political spectrum agree that wages for those with comparable education as teachers are too low by at least 20%. Surprisingly, this pay gap exceeds the current gender gap — 18%.
The sobering fact is that the average ACSD#1 salary is $25,700. Perhaps knowing that district wages are too low almost everywhere softens the blow.
Opinion: How about a minimum salary for teachers? $50,000? $60,000? or even $100,000?
