Minneapolis Public Schools- one of the highest paying districts in the state- 3-5yrs experience, masters level jumps in the payscale at mid 30K. Outer districts its upper 20s. A master teacher, 20+ years experience, advanced degree (masters, phd) will top out at around 50K they can go higher by entering administration.

One thing that's always bothered me is that Kindergarten, 1st -3rd grade teachers generally get less "respect" and professional regard than teachers of secondary levels- this within the ed world. Success there makes or breaks. And dont get me started on Pre-k, daycare teachers. Good ones at that level are more valuable than gold. We dont invest nearly enough.

Naw, they'd be canned so the company could get some kid right out of college with the latest poop, for less money.:)
Sorry to shortchange you on the location. I figured everybody knew I'm part of the Philly area bunch.
Or Syc was being a stickler.:haha:
