Liberty’s compensation package — which includes salary and a full benefits package — is $64,500. This is greater than the state average, and among the best in the Phoenix area.

We honor up to 10 years of previous experience and offer $6,000 in performance pay. In addition, for the last three years, teacher compensation has increased by 10 percent yearly.

In an effort to continue to recruit the highest quality teachers, LESD is implementing a four-day school week beginning in the 2023-24 school year. Liberty is one of only two districts in Arizona to offer this option.

The idea of a four-day week was first explored last year as a cost-savings measure in response to failing to pass a budget override. After surveying staff and families in the spring, it was clear this idea garnered initial support regardless of how much money it saved. For that reason, combined with the potential to better recruit and retain teachers in a nationwide shortage, the idea was approved for implementation. 

The four-day school week allows teachers to retain a better work-life balance. Additional personal time will give teachers more time for professional development, to pursue activities outside of school, and keep them fresh and ready to teach every day.

Polish your craft through weekly early-release team collaboration and ongoing individual coaching.

At 26:1, the average LESD class size is among the lowest in the region. 

That translates to more personalized student attention and better work/life balance for you. We are committed to creating the conditions for student AND teacher success.

Liberty welcomes educational students seeking observational hours, internships and/or student teaching experiences. Please fill out this form and Rebecca Willey, Educational Services Coordinator, will contact you regarding placement.
