Ah, Princeton Ohio?

I’m not familiar with pay rates in that state. In Kentucky, teacher pay is usually under $55,000. There are some exceptions. Superintendents make from $60k(ish) to $200k.

To give you an idea, my sister in law is a national board certified teacher with a masters. After about 17 years, she makes about $43,000. She’s still paying off students loans, and will be for about 2 more years.

She makes roughly a third of what she would for the same education level in the private sector.
