Iowa Teachers Pay Gap Highlights State and National Averages
Iowa data show average principal, supervisor, and teacher salaries at 932 dollars, excluding superintendents, far below the national 1374 dollar average. Among seven neighboring states only Nebraska Kansas and South Dakota are lower. Elementary staff make up about three fifths of Iowa's teaching workforce. Legislative efforts on retirement benefits failed in 1935 1937 and this year, with potential action on school laws and contracts. Gerald W. Kirn president named a committee with A B Grimes to standardize teacher contracts. The assembly may empower county councils and elect a city superintendent as president, with H J Eastman and Carl C Smith leading regional districts.
