How can I locate teacher's salary scales in various school districts
in the greater Cincinnati, Ohio area?

Good morning, donnajean!

According to a survey done by the Catalyst for Cleveland schools,
Cincinnati City Schools, one of the 7 largest districts in Ohio, had
the following scale for 1999-2000:

$29,229 for a BA and minimal experience
$$57,737 for an MA with several years experience.

Teachers in the Cincinnati City School district averaged $$46,695/year
in 1999-2000.

You can find a list of school districts, including links to district
homepages here:

"Greater Cincinnati School Districts"
[ http://www.ohiocities.com/cincischools.htm ]

Using this list to search the "Vital Statistics" section at the Ohio
Department of Education, I came up with the follwing average teacher
salaries for fiscal year 1997 or 1998 (some only had 1997 as the most
recent):

Norwood City Schools:  $41,573  (1997)
Indian Hill Exempted Village Schools: $43,583  (1998)
Madeira Schools: $42,881  (1998)
North College Hill City Schools:  $36,894  (1998)
West Clermont School District:  $40,569  (1998)

Ohio Department of Education - Vital Statistics Search

]

More specific scales can be had by contacting the districts directly.

I used the following search keywords: [Cincinnati "teacher salaries"],
["school districts" Cincinnati], and went directly to the ODoE.

Hope this helps!  Good luck!

Missy: Thanks for your quick response.What I am looking for are
specific and current salary SCALES (which show pay based on education
and years of experience) for teachers in a variety of school districts
in the greater Cincinnati area, not average teacher salaries in the
districts.  None of the schools I have checked post this information
on their websites. Other suggestions?

Hello again!

A call to the Ohio Department of Education (1-(877)-644-6338) revealed
that listings of actual pay scales are not published on the internet -
neither through the ODE, the teachers' unions, nor indiviual district
home pages.

The ODE representative suggested that you either call or write to the
individual districts for the information.  A written request will
likely get you more complete data.

Addresses for the individual district offices can be found on their
home pages.

The answer to my question was that there is no answer available
through the internet.
