You have to do a lot of after school stuff to pull 6 figures as a Kindergarten teacher. She must work in syosset or Great Neck. Not everybody wants to work OT and such
Folks wrongly assume the higher paying districts are the ones with the highest achieving students (i.e. Syosset, Jericho). That is simply not the case as teacher pay is generally similar from one district to another in Nassau and a tad lower (but again similar) throughout Suffolk. (Of course there are exceptions to this and every other generality in life).
(I am assuming most know Kindergarten teachers and high school calculus teachers [for example] are paid the same within a district. Even though teaching disinterested 6-year olds might be a harder and more time-consuming task. )
They don't use handicapped spaces here in NYC, and that goes for LI, NJ, Conn, upstate NY or anyone else with a LE place card. They park where ever they damn well please (hydrants, no standing/parking zones, sidewalks, driveways, etc... ) and dare you to say anything. Don't bother calling your local precinct or flagging down parking enforcement; they won't ticket out of *courtesy*.
If it isn't actual LE themselves it is their wives, mistresses, girlfriends, sibling, kids or anyone else they pass those place cards around to.

My understanding is a lot depends on (1) tier, (2) salary step and (3) supplementary education.

Different issue, but if you are talking salary it is essentially (1) salary step in years employed at the specific district and (2) supplementary education earned up to a limit. (Of course there are exceptions and details to this and every other generality in life.)
(Separate and apart from my correction of the common misconception on comparative teaching salaries across Nassau-Suffolk and within a school district)

I've always been curious about where the money comes from for a poor district like Central Islip who have 6-figure salary teachers. Their taxes are obviously not the same as a top-performing district. So if there's that disconnect, where's the money made up from? Commercial businesses? It can't be pooled/shared somehow...

It comes from tax payers in good districts like you and me. Our districts don't get all of our tax money, they get part of it, the rest is redistributed by albany to struggling districts with little or no tax base.

There is school tax and general tax that we all pay. Are you saying the general tax goes to Albany and get redistributed to poor SD? Or some of the school tax actually goes to Albany and then get redistributed to poor SD?

Do you mean over 100k salary? Not uncommon this century across all districts in Nassau and Suffolk. In any case, the schools are funded by commercial and home property taxes as well as state aid to the poorer districts (poorest getting the most state aid). A portion of that is applied to payroll (administrators and their staffs, teachers and teachers assistants and aides, custodial and grounds, and other support staff).
