“The average teacher salary last year was $65,808, an increase of 3.4 percent from 2007, according to new state figures,” according to the Sacramento Bee. Now you can use the charts below to compare what teachers make at the various school districts in Orange County. Or you can read them online at this link.
I found it interesting and surprising that teachers in Santa Ana make more money than teachers in Irvine…
I’m not surprised at all about that. Look at Saddleback, they start a good $10,000 below what other districts do.
Also, we have to take into account longevity, I’m wondering what the average length of service is and how long it takes to get up to that average number.
Although they do point this out:
And some districts have seen average salaries drop as they replace a large number of experienced teachers with new recruits.
It’s a lot easier to deal with South County kids, they speak English or usually come from families that respect education. Dealing w/ SAUSD kids is entirely different. Inbred Oaxacan peasants and 3rd generation drug dealers do not make good students. SAUSD should have combat pay for the brave souls that drive into that 3rd world dump every day.
Wow who is your source?
Ooooooooo a 3.4% increase in salary and a 100% decrease in funds to make the classroom interesting to children.
No wonder everyone complains about their golden parachutes and bonuses and how they make millions driving their companies into the ground and bankrupting the economies of nearly every country on the globe.
Oh wait thats not teachers, teachers are public employees, those folks are private sector, profit motivated folks.
Lets see what did the teachers do again – oh yeah a 3.4% increase.
It’s a lot easier with Santa Ana kids, they don’t complain and appreciate the experiences they receive in education. Dealing with South County kids is entirely different. Kids that come from wealthy and educated families make good students, but they complain a lot and so do their parents. Teachers who teach in wealthy schools deserve a lot of respect for they too, have to deal with many issues, they may not be the same as those of us who teach is Santa Ana, but their problems exist nonetheless.
65k is good money for teaching the kiddies of Orange County.
