Even with a bump, Conway starting teacher salary would be one of the lowest in the state Minimum salary for starting teachers would go from $27,600 to $29,000 if voters approve contract BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Don’t expect a giant leap in the rankings if voters move the minimum starting teacher salary to $29,000 in April with approval of the first teachers’ contract in three years.

The Conway School District, which has a minimum starting salary of $27,600, ranks 155th out of 160 districts in the Granite State according to the New Hampshire Department of Education. The district would move to 147th if the salary goes to $29,000. A jump to a $30,000 starting salary,

which was proposed in last year’s contract but failed by a mere five votes at the polls, would rank Conway 130th. In order to get to the state’s minimum starting teacher salary for 2009-10 with a BA degree of $33,120, excluding benefits, see SALARY page 8
