I left PGCPS after teaching there for 10 years. I really can’t recommend it at all. The problem is the administration.

Like most (all?) public schools, the pay scale is public information.

It is located here:

Teachers with National Board Certification are on a separate salary scale, noting the extra annual $13,000 to their salary.

NBCT teachers at a low performing school have an extra $22,000 added to their base salary.

Hmmm... I have been teaching in PGCPS (elementary school) for 14 years. Administrators have mostly been decent in my experience.

Head to the high schools. Different sorry. I quit teaching 100% because of admin. I was highly qualified and I had excellent observations. I just got sick of their inaction. The school could literally be on fire and they wouldn’t care.

Administrators are a common problem with teacher autonomy and profressionalism

Yikes! $139 at the top with a NBT. That’s an impressively high salary. It would get factored into the pension as well.


Anyone know what the highest starting step would be for an experienced teacher?

I believe step 10. They can override this though if you are in a hard to fill position. But- two years ago at least when I tried, I couldn’t get them to state clearly what they’d accept until I committed. (Certified high school math, science, and ESOL with 20 years of experience.) Took a job as admin at a college instead.

sounds horrible...

Admins should work like assistants to the teachers with support in mind. The current system makes a conflict of interest where they have an incentive to bully teachers to make up data to benefit the overpaid power tripping admin. Don't be a teacher unless you want to be treated like a slave.
