Idaho teachers’ salaries up 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.
Like many averages, this number tells only part of the story.
In 26 districts and charters across Idaho, average salaries increased by more than 10 percent. In 19 districts and charters, the average actually decreased — which happens when experienced teachers retire or resign, and entry-level teachers take their place.
And as legislators consider putting another $62 million into its teacher career ladder initiative, district policies are also all over the spectrum/Kevin Richert, Idaho Education News. More here.
