80k a year then, that's just under 7k a month, even two teachers at that is less than 15k a month.

Nah. Not even close.

For regular programs, $93,753,240 for salaries, $57,724,761 for benefits.

Benefits are 62% of the salary.

>Highest salary at Central Bucks School District in year 2022 was $225,000. Number of employees at Central Bucks School District in year 2022 was 1,432. Average annual salary was $89,910 and median salary was $94,472.

https://govsalaries.com/salaries/PA/central-bucks-school-district?year=2022&page=2

The median salary is $94,472 and $58,573 in benefits = $153,044 total compensation.

That high salary is almost twice the highest paid teacher. “Average” is highly skewed because of that. I believe the starting salary is 47k. I work in the district… 20+ years. Our salary schedule taps out at 116k. It sounds like a lot but I’m in my mid to late 40s, have a masters plus 30 credits and can’t move to other districts since most don’t honor your years of service. There are people I know in “marketing” in there 20s that make as much as I do with bonuses. I’m not complaining but the community brags about the great education, but many teachers can’t afford to live in the district.

I hope you are not teaching math.

Look again.

Ha. If the median salary is 94k, half the teachers make less than that. I would like to see what the “teacher” pay average is when admin is removed from the calculation. I would imagine the 225k is the superintendent. 116k is about half that. Like I said, the number sounds big compared to districts not in Bucks county. But, cost of living in Bucks around Doylestown is nuts. Our EAs and support staff get paid squat and the building couldn’t run without them.

Get your degrees, certs, be good at your job, put in a couple of decades to get the experience. In short, work hard, then you can...

> Just a small correction from your link, $122,004 as the highest salary - not $225,000. All the other numbers look good!

$122K is the highest salary on page 2. The superintendant is on page 1 at $225K.

There is a math teacher making $166K in just salary, or $269K with benefits.

Why does the govsalaries link show differently for highest salary?

drxdrg08 t1_j9q73ro wrote

It appears to show the highest salary on the currently selected page, but the average and median is calculated across all pages.
