Burlington Teacher Salaries Well Above State Average

By ALEX NEWMAN (Patch Staff)

BURLINGTON, MA - Public school teachers in Burlington on average were paid above the Massachusetts average in 2015.

Earlier this month, the Boston Business Journal released a full list of average annual salaries of public educators in each community, based on data from the Department of Early and Secondary Education.

According to the study, the average salary of the 307 public school teachers in Burlington last year was $90,475, more than $15,000 over the statewide average of $74,737.

317 school districts reported data to the state. Benefits such as summers off and pensions, negotiated between individual school districts and unions, were not included in the data.

Average wages were determined by dividing each district's total salaries and stipends by the number of full-time teachers employed in 2015.
