Average Teacher Salary Information
- FY2025 (Budget Year): $59,638
- FY2024 (Prior Year): $58,469
- Increase of: $1,169
- Percentage Increase: 2%
Comments on average salary calculation: All returning teachers are budgeted to receive a 2% increase in compensation for fiscal year 2022-2023. Additionally, all teachers will receive a 2% stipend. The overall average is not reflective of the full increase due to new teachers hired with fewer years of experience than long-tenured teachers retiring from the district.
