School System Positions Have Many Advantages
Point Pleasant notes that even as some graduates from Point Pleasant Trade School take welding jobs at $300 monthly after six weeks, the county school system offers attractive teaching roles. Superintendent Roush says qualified teachers can retain positions if desired. Highest paid teachers will receive a minimum of $180 monthly under the new act, with minimum-qualification teachers earning slightly less than $100. If federal funds arrive, $5, $10, and $15 additions may be paid next term, mirroring the last four months of the year. To earn the maximum pay, teachers must have five years of college work, a master’s degree, and ten years of teaching experience.
