[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just got our school budget. Our librarian makes $140k. Most teachers make about $130k and they work for 9 months per year and they get a pension. I am happy for them but people have to stop with pressuring parents to give them gift cards, valentine presents and all the talk about them not being well paid. By This is not valid in other states. I am just talking about DCPS and probably DC metro and other big cities. That’s it 🙂[/quote] Yup. I have 20 years experience and am in a senior role at my large nonprofit and make $126. We have had some lovely, lovely teachers and assistants when my kids were at a title 1 elementary, and I was generous with the gifts. But I no longer go overboard or give gifts to individual teachers in middle and hs. They are professionals![/quote] Do you get $126 gross pay, or is $126 allocated for your salary, any benefits your company employer pays, subs if you are absent etc . . .? Because a line item in a budget is not a salary.[/quote] If 126k is allocated for a teacher, approximately what is their actual salary (pre-tax)?[/quote] You managed to not see it posted twice. https://dcps.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/dcps/page_content/attachments/WTU%20FY20-FY23.pdf[/quote] This does not answer my question.[/quote] In the budget, they put the average total cost (which includes all the benefits and add ons). The average teacher salary isn't easy to find but it is listed as $93,823 here https://joindcps.dc.gov/become-a-dc-teacher. The starting salary is $63,373. In the budget, whether a teacher makes $63K or $93K, they are listed at the average "total cost" of about $130K. For how they calculate the average total cost, see https://dcpsbudget.com/budget-model/average-position-cost/. [/quote] I'm not talking about a line in a budget, I'm talking about something like this, that lists salaries by name: https://dchr.dc.gov/public-employee-salary-information[/quote]
