average teacher salary in detroit
Poor bankrupt Detroit pays teachers more than San Fran and NYC, cities that have actual money. The average teacher's salary in Detroit is $71,031. But there's a problem. Detroit has more teachers than students.The Detroit Public Schools could be faced with a staffing dilemma in a couple of years if steps are not taken to reduce the number of teachers employed by the district.n 2002 just as in 2011, according to the U.S. Department of Education, only 32 percent of Michigan public-school eighth graders scored proficient or better in reading. But this would change if only we truly paid teachers as much as we pay NBA basketball stars. The average Michigan teacher salary is $63,000.
