Apparently there is no tax money for the barren shelves at food pantries or the lack of beds at homeless shelters or to extend unemployment benefits but there is enough tax money to pay for:
* A Phys Ed teacher $191,124 for a 9 month work year.
* 19 who made more over $1,000/day including 6 Phys Ed and three drama/music teachers.
* A Drivers Ed teacher who salary is $18,205/month to teach teenagers how to parallel park.
* Six teachers make more than the Governor’s $177,500.
* Top 100 Teachers average $17,603 per month salary.
Other benefits…
- 36 week work year
- Approx. $48,000 state pension
- Approx. $7,500 health benefits
Here’s the top salaried teachers in the state.
