Salary is one obstacle to keeping teachers in Montana’s rural schools
October 3, 2016 /
Jordan Public Schools superintendent Nathan Olson has a simple way to explain why teachers leave small districts for better-paying schools.
"Everyone wants to eat something other than ramen noodles," he said.
Montana pays beginning teachers worse than any other state in the country. Salaries get better for more experienced teachers, but still fall short of some neighboring states. And in rural areas, which often cycle through young teachers for open positions, a sparse housing market can drive up costs of living.
