does anyone know if there is a list of the Bryan ISD pay grades? on their website it just lists a job as pay grade A3 for example. is there anywhere where i can find out what that means?

http://bryanisd.org/docs/SALARY%20SCHEDULE07.pdf

thanks, i saw that but it says A3 so do you know what the A means?

I have no clue what you are talking about

could you please link the page that has the a3

A is for Administrative paygrade which = more money = more work days. In Bryan standard teacher contract is 187 work days, for Admin it is 226(if you do the math it basically is the full year)

i think teachers make like 65K or something start off in bryan

wow their payscale sucks big

thanks

I make less than that

I love you Tanya.

I know

I love you too

Our scale is way below that one. Small towns in poor areas of the state are the most depressed salary wise.

No reason to wait till next year, because this year is damned fine.

i told you to leave to the big city tanya

I know

But I have the husband....

I'm not doing too badly at the current job and they love me there. And we get cool perks, like trips to Enchanted Rock

holy crap, i just looked at the link, i thought teachers made in the middle 60's, they make half of that??? JEEZ

uptownAg makes me laugh.

it sucks to be a teacher. I made substanitally more than a level 25 with a Ph.D/Ed.D the day I stepped out of college.

but just think if you were a teacher with a PhD. that would have given you a cool ~$2000 bonus pay. so worth it!!!

No economical reason to get a masters or doctorate. It will take you over 25 years just to pay it off.

you dont become a teacher for economical reasons.

hth

Yeah, you become one because you are a burnout. Get it straight!

Damn I made more than a doctoral w 25 yrs of experience when I came out of college!

Keep in mind that usually two types of people with a phd teach high school. Those who love teaching highschoolers and do it because of that and not for the money, and those who really suck and can't hack it in either research or collegiate-level teaching.

Same here. Holy cow, is that ever low pay =( Poor edumacation.

guys

we aren't destitute.

the pay isn't high, but it is not like we would make more working at Walmart.

Teachers get more time off than any other lawful occupation. It's about choices.

I don't know, the US president seems to get a lot of time off.

my plans today involve going to the gym, doing some laundry, and seeing Evan Almighty.

Point conceded.

Is that just a bachelors in education, or can you major in something else and later get a teaching cert. and make the same?

He said lawful occupation.

MIL teaches at BISD. She has her doctorate and been there for years and just now getting the what the end of that payscale is.

Exactly tanya. We are paid for the days we work--on a contract. Few other jobs are contract jobs--meaning there is only a narrow window we can change jobs--and it is about to close for this year.

We sign contacts frequently before a district sets its pay scale, and our actual teaching assignment can change--I have had them change it the first week of clsses.

But the kids are wonderful and keep us alive in a way few other jobs do.

It is only that one time a month, when I pay bills and have little left over, that I wish it paid better. Central Texas has some of the most depressed salaries in the state, and as long as most districts don't pay well, they can all get away with not paying well. In the metroplex there is a bidding war of sorts for teachers so the pay is high.

But if I lived in a city I would be a recluse because I abhor driving in traffic--it makes me a total nervous wreck--so I would have my little path to work and home and probably do little else. not a good place for me. I grew up in a town of under two hundred people, thirty miles from the nearest grocery store. So Temple or Killeen are HUGE cities for me.

Corpus is the largest I have ever lived in, and the traffic there was not bad--even ten years ago when it was a shopping destination when we lived in Laredo.

I hope to teach 12 more years if my health holds up and it stays the plan for my life. I see no reason to retire and quit doing something that only makes me feel good--until the time comes I can't do the job well, or I am too ill to do it.

Now the plan for my life could change, and I try to be open to that. I may apply for a brazos valley job because my heart feels like that is home, but I am not sure that is where I am supposed to be. Salary though is not the reason since any increase in pay there is offset by the increase in cost of living.
