This is very old data. Maybe updated info exists.

September 2004 Toledo Talk thread that excerpted from a Toledo Blade story about teacher's pay. That Blade story included tabular data that existed in the print version but not on its website.

Nationally, the average salary for a teacher was $45,771. Ohio ranked 15th in the nation in average salary at $45,515. But the state ranked 27th for its average beginning teacher salary of $28,866.

Michigan teachers on average took home nearly $10,000 more than their Ohio counterparts. The average teacher salary in that state was $54,020, which was the second-highest in the nation behind California.

Toledo Public Schools pays $32,697 annually to a teacher straight out of college.

Catholic high schools in the metro Toledo area paid an average starting salary of $24,506 last year.

On the elementary-school level, the average starting pay was $20,925.

The affluent Ottawa Hills school district offers a starting salary of $31,602 a year.

My September 2004 comments based upon the data from that September 2004 Blade story:

TPS pays a higher starting salary than Ottawa Hills for teachers with a Bachelors degree.

But OH has a much higher average salary at $60,621 versus TPS's $45,968.

With a Master's degree, the starting salaries between the two [school districts] are about the same.

With just a Bachelors degree and 27 years experience, TPS pays $55,577 and OH pays $53,091.

With a Masters degree and 27 years experience, OH pays $70,788 and TPS pays $60,595.

The average salary for Ottawa Hills is tops in northwest Ohio and ninth highest in Ohio.

Catholic school teachers are paid considerably less than public school teachers.
