Average Teacher Salary Information
- Average salary for FY2025 $61,798
- Average salary for FY2024 $59,100
- Increase in average $2,698
- Percentage increase 5%
Comments on average salary calculation: All returning teachers are budgeted to receive a 2% increase in compensation for fiscal year 2024-2025. 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.
