That’s basically the top of the range in the whole country. First year teachers make $39k-$85k national, and I assume the $80k was super high cost of living states. I guess teachers should be flocking to Texas given it isn’t that expensive to live.Makes sense it’s growing, but Vegas was growing huge at that time and they didn’t pay shit.

I’ve never heard of a teacher starting that high unless they were a specialty teacher for special needs. That’s usually 20 year tenured scale salary. If he’s bilingual I can see that might get a desired gig in Texas.
