Pay for New Ann Arbor Teachers Up 24-44 Percent in Four Years [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
"In a speech before the Ann Arbor Board of Education this May, teacher Dan Ezekiel painted a bleak picture of compensation for teachers.
Ezekiel, a science teacher who also is involved in local politics by serving on various county and city boards and commissions, was concerned about the pay of starting teachers in the district.
He said he makes $3,000 less than he did eight years ago.
Michigan Capitol Confidential put in a Freedom of Information Act request for teacher salaries in Ann Arbor for the years 2010-11 to 2014-15.
...Ezekiel’s salary in 2010-11 was $79,830 and $79,177 in 2014-15, a $653 reduction over a four-year span.
...Michigan Capitol Confidential looked at the salaries of 30 Ann Arbor teachers.
Their average salary was $71,960 in 2010-11, which increased to $76,025 in 2014-15.
According to the Michigan Department of Education, the average teacher salary in Ann Arbor was $71,025 in 2010-11 and $72,036 in 2014-15.
The FOIA request for the salary information did not include any additional money teachers could have earned doing extra duties, such as coaching team sports or teaching in summer school..."
