I'm a NYC first year teacher and I'm making base, which is 43,300. I'm trying for the next salary step since I graduated with a BA+30. We'll see how that goes. What's nice about city pay is that it goes up fast pretty quickly. My salary goes up about 2000 by May.
Not sure about LI districts. It tends to vary. I know that they generally don't include dental insurance, so that takes some out of your salary. In the city both are free.
See, I don't consider $43,300 much, nor the $45,000 that you anticipate as compared with the educational requirements, certification and the work involved in teaching (not to mention the cost of living in NYC). Although if you're young and have no children, etc., you can make it work.
I don't agree that it "goes up fast pretty quickly". I think it's a few hundred dollars per salary step (per year).
It'll give you listings for teachers salary and number of teachers employed. Just divide one into the other. It also seperates out teachers benefit package so you can calculate that too.

Does anyone know the starting salary for the Wyandanch School district ? Also, how can I get into a long island teachers fellow program?
Try reading Shadowbosses - Government Unions Control America and Rob Taxpayers Blind - by Mallory and Elizabeth Factor - explains all about governmental unions and political influence. The teachers' unions are included in this book. Keep your Pepto Bismol handy - this book will make you sick.
If Nassau County and Suffolk County each had only one superintendent, that would go a long way to lowering our taxes. All those superfluous superintendents and asst. superintendents would be laid off along with any other redundancies.
