"There's really not much consistency among local towns and cities when it comes to teacher salaries and employment. Some communities are spending more than ever, while others are below where they were before the last recession,” reported Boston Business Journal.

One thing that can play a large part in the average salary is the number of veteran and new teachers. For instance, newer teachers make less money and may skew the average lower for a district.
