Milwaukee Teacher Pay

Alan Borsuk:

So how much will teachers be paid in MPS under the contract proposal almost sure to be ratified by teachers and the School Board? When agreement between the bargaining teams was announced, we reported that the salary schedule for teachers would increase 2.5% this year and 2.5% next year, but we didn't give details.

So here are a few:

Under the agreement, a starting teacher with only a bachelor's degree will receive $34,858 in salary this year, up from $34,008 a year ago. A year from now, the figure will be $35,729.

A teacher with a master's degree in the seventh year of working for MPS -- a farily typical situation -- was paid $48,350 a year ago. This year that will be $49,559 and next year it will be $50,798.

The highest possible straight-pay amount for a teacher in MPS would be someone with a master's degree and 32 additional credits who is in at least the 16th year of teaching. Last year, such a teacher would have been paid $69,400; this year, the figure is $71,135; next year it is $72,913.
