TRACKING TEACHER PAY
Douglas Bissonette, the superintendent of Elizabeth School District, has tracked teacher pay and cost of living across Colorado for several years in a database. Last year, teachers in districts ranked in the top 9 percent in salary made 84 percent more than those employed in districts ranked in the bottom 9 percent, his spreadsheet shows. In 2009, that salary gap was just 60 percent, according to the data. All the school districts in that bottom 9 percent last year were in rural areas. There were 109 districts ranked in the bottom 9 percent in salary last year. Those districts paid an average teacher salary of $39,592, which was, on average, 21 percent below the annual cost of living in those districts. In 25 districts the starting pay for a teacher was so low that it was more than 40 percent below the cost of living in the areas.
