How experienced are MVWSD's teachers, and what does each band earn?
Teachers grouped by years-of-service step, with the share and average pay in each band against the county and the state.
Steps are the district's own salary steps, which advance with years of service, so they are the closest public proxy for experience. Shares are of teacher FTE. Comparison shares are FTE-weighted across all districts in each pool.
