New Jersey teacher median salaries - 2016-17

Someone just pointed out this article here in NJ.com - 'The Top 3 N.J. school districts in each county that pay teachers the most.'

It states that the median salary among New Jersey teachers was $66,117 in 2016-17, up from $64,550 the previous year. It also states there is a wide disparity across the state ranging from as low as $43,911 to as high as $105,650, according to annual data from the state Department of Education.

It has some nice graphics and rankings breaking down the data and you should check it out.

Went to the NJ DOE website and downloaded the data file from the Taxpayers Guide to Education Spending (indicator 16) and excerpted just the median salary numbers.

Looks like here in Downtown Edison - we come in at # 3 in the state and # 1 in the County in median salary.

Anyhoo, the Taxpayers Guide to Education Spending has some interesting data in it.
