Teacher Pay from far away – Louisville, KY

I’m too lazy to make a table today, but here’s the link for Louisville’s current teacher pay scale:  click here.

Synopsis: Start at  $36K – $48K (last number is for a doctorate, it lookes like $41k is for an MA). Advance about $600/yr for the first 5 years.  Most jumps after that are $1000+, with bigger ones at 11 years ($2500) and 16 years ($2K). After year 17 there are only increases at year 20 and 25.

So, begin with a bachelors at $36K, five years with a masters $45K, ten years with + lots of credits $56, 25 years, same credential $71. Add $2K for a PhD.

Apparently they allow military service to count for up to two years experience.

And of course before comparing Louisville to NY, remember we are working with an entirely different cost of living.
