Yep, I remember reading the most senior teachers at Neshaminy were making nearly six figures. I would not be surprised at all if Central Bucks teachers were making more.

Neshaminy starts at 45k, so you'd have to be working a long while to get to six figures.

That's the starting salary for the lowest level teaching job there is.
You can find the total collective bargaining agreement easily online and see the pay bands. Most teachers at the high school level have a decent tenure built up and pull in close to $90k. The pay scale tops out at $111k for advanced degree holders with tenure.

That makes a little more sense. I still think the starting wages are criminally low, but that does help some.

The starting salaries are low, the reality is many suburban teachers have golden handcuffs and a lot of tenure, so they are more focused on negotiating the upper end of pay bands than focusing on starting salaries.
The unfortunate reality is many teachers get their start in less competitive crapola school districts like the Philly SD and then run for the hills of suburbia as soon as they have some experience.

Teacher pay scales also heavily depend on getting those extra degrees. In order to maximize potential pay and get a bigger pay band you have to keep going back to school. Most students don’t realize their teachers in suburban schools have at minimum one masters degree but some of my coworkers have 2 or 3 or even doctorates.

CV is a bit lower than the Philly burb districts (lower even that Hershey or MT) but the cost of living in the midstate is much lower than in the burbs.

yea i think my SD started teachers around 50k but gave them a 3-4k raise every year. so if you stay 10 years you are making 80-90k.

No, not really. Using steps and columns (extra ed + years in service), a new teacher can easily go above 50k for the school year.

Those figures include administration. And those numbers would be significantly skewed by the administration's inclusion. It is more likely the person making $196,000 a year is the district superintendent, not a teacher.

If you click on individual teachers, you can see their salaries.
For example:

Huh. Strange that two official sites would give such different info.
