I agree that we “want to attract the brightest and the best to educate our young,” but the odd thing about the teaching profession is that the pay scale is NOT based on merit/performance like basically every industry in the private sector. Teachers were quite vocal in demanding that the salary schedule be the same if the two districts were combined into one.Īgree, but teachers pay is not based on merit One of the stumbling blocks for efforts to combine the two Evanston districts into a single district has been the salary difference between District 202 and District 65.
