Speaking of Salaries

Great Falls teachers just reached agreement on a contract too. Now the article doesn't say how many days their contract is, but let's assume it's at least as long as the principals', 205 days.

Here are the annual breakdowns:

• Beginning teacher: $28,519.00 -- Annualized: $33,388.00 plus benefits.
• Mid-Career: $39,832 -- Annualized: $46,632.00 plus benefits.
• Top-Paid: $55,872 -- Annualized: $65,411.00 plus benefits.

Said CMR teacher Jodi Brown: ""You can't complain about 4 percent raises in the kind of economy we're in."

I agree.
