[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yu Ying teacher salary scale goes from $61,000 to $96,000. Mundo Verde’s is $60,000 to $90,000. If they are supplementing with fundraising, it is still not getting them close to DCPS salaries, $71,000-$147,000 next year.[/quote]

Yeah, Latin's teacher salary scale is a painful $56 to $80.  Shameful, actually.  Not sure why that's not a bigger black mark against them.

A handful of charters do come closer to DCPS pay scale - BASIS ($64-$118), Haynes ($66-$111), Cap City ($66-126).

Just looked it up and there are even more than a handful that come close or are at/above DCPS -- BASIS, Haynes, Cap City, Two Rivers, DC Prep, Center City, Wildflower, KIPP, Friendship, SEED, Ingenuity Prep, Rocketship, Learn, Girls Global, DC Scholars, DC Bilingual... and there are even more.

I am at a school that is very competitive but the budget constraints might change that going forward. The overall increase promised to charters is 2.5% but teacher salaries, utilities, and other fixed costs are growing at much higher rates. I'm afraid that schools are going to walk back salaries, reduce people or cut off a lot of student experiences and materials. These are very difficult budget times and schools -- especially charters -- are going to feel it.[/quote]
