Two years into five-year plan, Idaho’s average teacher pay has increased by 5%

Idaho’s average teacher salary has increased by slightly more than 5 percent since 2015, when the state adopted a five-year plan to boost pay, reports Idaho EdNews. After two years, and a $75 million infusion of new state money, Idaho’s average teacher salary now stands at $46,439, writes EdNews reporter Kevin Richert. In 2014-15, before the career ladder law went into effect, that average was $44,205. But wide variances remain among districts. You can read Richer’s full report here.
