[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband teaches in FCPS.  He has a Masters degree and 15 years of teaching experience (10 of them at the same FCPS school) - he makes about $65k.  He's strongly considering switching to Arlington for the pay.  It's tough living in this area on that kind of income.  We realized we weren't going to be well-off with his career choice, but this has gotten to be too much.

We have two kids in FCPS schools, so we care about the quality of schools and teachers here.  I hope FCPS finds a long-term fix soon.[/quote]

65K seems on the low end for a teacher with his qualifications/experience in FCPS. How is it that some of his peers are make 30K+ more than him in the same school system.  I am not a teacher, I have just seen 6 figure salaries reported elsewhere.[/quote]

Steps don't match the number of years of experience.  Our step increases have been frozen many of the last 10 years (I forget, maybe 6-7 of them?)  So a teacher might have 10 years of experience but actually only moved up 3 or 4 steps on the scale.  [/quote]
