Consistent with this morning, I'm still dubious of the number, especially considering the source.

Especially considering this: "Under the currently binding contract (pdf), 2010-11 annual teacher salaries ranged from $47,268 for teachers with bachelor�s degree with a year�s experience or less, to $88,680 for those with doctorates who have at least 16 years of experience. Those in schools with longer school years (42.6 weeks or 52 compared to 38.6) make commensurately more. All told, teachers in Chicago make an average of $74,839 a year."

Unless there are a lot of two-decade doctorate teachers working at year-round schools, that average doesn't add up.

- Perhaps if the ranking is limited to city public school systems, but I'd be shocked if some smaller, wealthier school systems didn't have higher avgs. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 10, 12:53 2

  - For instance, this is 2 years old, but at least one MD county has a higher $ than that. -- (link) - Don Homer Sep 10, 12:54

- And, in this same link, pay isn't really the sticking point. -- nm - ty97 Sep 10, 12:39 2
  - It's the benefits, not so much the pay, but it's all really compensation. -- nm - pmb Sep 10, 12:44 1
    - The evaluation system and preferential hiring of laid off teachers seem to be key items. - ty97 Sep 10, 12:59
