Illinois public school teachers earning six-figure salaries

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Want to wind up making at least six figures as a public school teacher?

Send your resume to Highland Park or Deerfield High School, both in Township High School District 113.

The district — which has no teachers union — boasted the highest average teacher pay in the state last school year, at $104,737.

More than half of all District 113 full-time teachers — 55 percent to be exact — pulled down at least $100,000 in total compensation, including benefits and extra pay for extracurricular activities.

A quasi-"private" set-up: buy an expensive piece of real estate and your kid can go to these well-to-do high schools. Just a reminder: you don't need a union to make big money.
