RE: Beginning salary

        I have my Masters +30, plus National Board Certification, plus 25
years - just cracked $50,000.....

 - but according to my district - one of the wealthiest in the state -
(parents can raise $80,000 at the auction, and $900,000 + to fix the roof
and electrical system) my 'perks' are small class sizes and great
classroom budgets

 - I tried to tell that to my son's orthodontist (who lives in the school
district) - but he wouldn't accept it as payment -
