Now that you’ve had a chance to explore the school districts in Kentucky, let’s discuss differences in salaries among the districts. The average teacher salary in the state of Kentucky is $43,802 for school year 2006-2007.* This number varies among school districts so take a look at the average teacher salary for the northern Kentucky school districts.

Boone County $44,422
Campbell County $42,610
Kenton County $44,485
Ludlow Independent $46,409
Covington Independent $40,450
Erlanger-Elsmere Independent $41,616
Fort Thomas Independent $49,609

It’s hard to believe there is over a $9,000 difference in the average teacher salary across northern Kentucky. If you want to teach in one of the highest paid school districts for teachers in Kentucky, move to Louisville. Teachers in Jefferson County average almost $51,000.

Helpful Hints

Before you begin your teaching career it’s a good idea to research different schools in your area to find the school where you want to teach. Start by looking at each school’s website to give you a better idea of what the school is like. In my blogroll I’ve provided links to the three main northern Kentucky school districts (Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties). Browse through these websites and discover the great schools near you!

Another website that can provide great information to anyone who isn’t familiar with schools in Kentucky (or any state for that matter) is www.GreatSchools.net This site helps users compare schools within a city or district. It also provides recent test scores for each school. This is a great site for anyone who may be moving to Kentucky and needs information on the schools here.

Also, check out the Kentucky Department of Education website by clicking here. This site contains a directory of schools in Kentucky listed by county. Contact information is included for each school.
