“Those salary schedules on district websites? Those are for new hires. So someone with 40 years of experience in one school will be paid less than someone hired with 40 years.” This is not true in any state I am aware of. Salaries are very rigid and all teachers and staff with the same years of creditable experience and educational status make the same amount regardless of new hire status. Some counties may offer extra pay for performance or extra duties like coaching or summer school, but it is usually not a significant amount.
