Lakeland teacher pay in middle of the pack
Thursday, February 14, 2019


LAGRANGE – Salaries are the biggest chunk of any school budget and when it comes to teacher pay, Lakeland School Corporation is in the middle of the pack among area districts.

A database of 2017-2018 teacher pay compiled by the Indianapolis Star shows the average Lakeland teacher salary was $49,938.

That puts Lakeland in the middle tier with districts like MSD of Steuben County, West Noble, and East Noble.

Averages don’t present a complete picture. For example a teacher with 13 years experience at Lakeland just broke the $40,000 level.

The lowest average teacher salaries in the area are at Garrett-Keyser-Butler, Prairie Heights, Central Noble and Fairfield school districts.

The highest average salaries are at Fremont, Middlebury, DeKalb Central and Westview.
