This is very old data. Maybe updated info exists. September 2004 Toledo Talk "thread":http://www.toledotalk.com/cgi-bin/comments.pl/6/744 that excerpted from a Toledo Blade "story":http://www.toledoblade.com/Education/2004/09/13/Teachers-pay-varies-widely-by-district.html about teacher's pay. That Blade story included tabular data that existed in the print version but not on its website. q. 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. q.. br. My September 2004 comments based upon the data from that September 2004 Blade story: q. 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. q..
