The starting salary for Clark County public school teachers is $50,115. The average salary for these teachers is between $56,482 and $58,000. This might help explain why the district has difficulty attracting high-quality teachers. Here’s one more number: The school board recently awarded a $75,000 pay raise to the superintendent. That is about $18,000 more than the average teacher’s salary. I consider that an insult to our teachers. Do you?
