My first thought is that school district must of been paying their teachers really crappy to start with to be able to jump $21k in each teachers salary. Kentucky's average teacher salary of less than $42,000 is more than $7,000 below Ohio's, according to the National Education Association.

The logistic of paying teachers in a district that kind of jump doesnt make sense. I'd do some investigating before getting my hopes up to high that this can be done. Never heard of a school system giving that much of a jump in salary and being able to aford it. This doesnt sound right. Sorry to be the skeptic but since my hubby is a teacher this is not unfamiliar territory.
