How Much do Teachers Earn in Hawthorn District 73?

Data released by the Illinois State Board of Education reveals teacher and administrator salaries.

Data recently released by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) revealed that the highest-paid teacher in Hawthorn School District 73 earned about $125,408 in 2010-11.

The lowest-paid teacher earned $3,603.

The data collected by the ISBE shows the names, positions, salaries and benefits of all teachers and administrators.

According to the ISBE, "For school years 2010 and 2011, when a July 1 reporting deadline was in effect, school districts were directed by ISBE to include in their reports payments made through June 30, 2010. As a result, projected July and August payments to individuals paid over 12 months versus 10 should not have been included. For this reason—and because additional compensation can be earned for a variety of extra duties involving the supervision of students or related to the academic program—the annual compensation reported for individuals is not comparable either within or across districts."

According to ISBE 2011 report card data, the average teacher salary in District 73 was $62,138, compared to $64,978 for the state.

Salary data is also available for Community High School District 128, which is listed as School District 128 in the database.
