Teacher pay scale – Westport CT

As I find them, I will post teacher pay scales, concentrating on communities not so far from NYC. For the New York City Department of Education salary schedule, click current or future.

Westport, Connecticut is an affluent town on Long Island Sound, just east of Norwalk. It is liberal, white (over 95%) and rich (per capita income over $70,000).

Westport’s salary schedule is below the fold ———–>

I don’t understand this salary chart completely. In particular, I don’t know why the first two lines are blank (is there a separate probationary schedule that I missed??)

As you review the numbers below, notice how slowly the jumps are fairly even, until the end when they jump. (there is a $6000 step moving from 12 to 13 in the leftmost column!) And that one $90K figure seems to jump out of nowhere.

Step 16 appears to have errors. They are in the source.

For comparison, NYC’s bigger raises are more spread (see link at the top of this article), and neighboring (urban, middle class) Norwalk has a more generous scale, except at the very top. Click to see Norwalk’s teacher pay scale.
