Thanks for putting this together. A few more clarifying points...regarding Summer School pay. Depending upon the subject credentialed in and whether Summer School is offered to just say, Special Education students only, it is difficult to rely on that added, extra income. I teach an elective class and very seldom are they offered in any Summer School. Also, there is a certain number of years of experience that other districts will allow when transferring in...usually between 8-12 years max of experience are used when transferring from one local district to another. In SFUSD, offering healthcare for retirees between retirement and 65 (when Medicare kicks in) has not been offered to credentialed teachers since 2001. Retired teachers that were hired before that date must also have 20 years of consecutive service in the district to qualify for paid health coverage. Retention bonuses in SF for 4th and 8th year also require the teacher to have the correct amount of units on that date. You don't get the taxed bonus if not at the correct amount of units on the given retention year. Thanks for clarifying this, though.
Wow, really good data pulled together into an easy to understand format. I really appreciate this work.
I don’t know if you have the answer here, but how many of these salaries are boosted by summer school? One of the big perks of being a teacher is the two months of summer vacation. I think many teachers use that to get their extra academic credits, so maybe that’s not fair to consider.
Also, I know that teachers get a huge benefit in their pension, usually worth about 25% of salary. Employers pay 8.25% of salary into CalSters. That probably deserves a mention, though it might be the topic of a future post.
This is awesome. Thank you!
