How are teachers salaries in Louisiana? New jersey totally out of whack so the teachers union sucks the school systems dry.

$51K a year

I counted us to have the 27th highest salary. So below the mean and median, but still pretty good considering we are at the bottom in terms of personal median income Census data

So, I think it is difficult to argue that teachers aren't paid enough in LA. They probably need to be paid better but to mean that means paying the better teachers more and firing the poor teachers.
