Is it legal for a Non-profit to subsidize the salaries of public
school teachers in low-income school districts?  Are there any
non-profits doing anything like this now?

Depends on the rules in your particular jusrisdiction, I would think.

Where I live, the non-profit public school support organization uses
the money it raises mostly for salaries for non-teaching support staff
-- librarians, janitors, school nurse, and the like -- which means the
official salary dollars can go 100% to hiring teachers.

Is that an option where you are?

I'm in Los Angeles, CA.  I don't know if that's legal in LA.  Can anyone tell me?

Is there anyone out there that is willing to spend some time to find
out if it is legal for a Non-profit to subsidize the salaries of
public school teachers in low-income school districts?  We can pick
Los Angeles, CA if it depends on the location.  I will tip an
additional $15.00.

Paf's remark suggests a cleaner solution.  Paying a supplement to
salaried state employees could raise problems concerning their
acceptance of money from other sources, as well as tax questions.

Sounds like you should pose that question to the school district.  The
school district would have to be the entity to accept monies and then
dispense them.  I think it would be highly unlikely that a school
district would engage in a plan that would pay teachers differently -
and their union may have something to say about that too.
