I am a 5 year teacher and I only make $60. Kinda hard to live in this area as a single woman.

I’m sure your salaries are much higher to begin with.

My child's teacher makes $80k+


It took me at least 12 yrs to get to that salary. My son made more than that his first year out of college.

Yet there is a shortage so clearly those “perks” aren’t enough.

Ok. Unless they are married, 80,000 doesn’t get you much in this area. Salaries should match COL.
$80k is a perfectly respectable salary. You may be skewed by DCUM.

Yup. Lots of kids will have subs in the beginning of the year.

Even with the step it’s a meager sum. Forces of supply and demand are at work and teachers are leaving. 3% and a step definitely not keeping anyone around or bringing folks back from the sidelines.

It is 3% + a step.

  • $80.9 million to provide a market scale adjustment of 3.0% for all employees.
    $58.2 million to provide a step increase for all eligible employees.
    $4.3 million to provide a step extension for all scales.


    • I'm not sure what you want from FCPS. The Fairfax Board of Supervisors needs to raise taxes further if you want big teacher raises.

    Can someone please explain to me how FCPS think a 3% raise will help retain and recruit talent? This is a shame!
    How can we FCPS parents help chance this scenario? Our teachers deserve much better. Shame on our School Board. I am 😤!
