Legacy teachers do more than just teach — they change lives — and it is important
that we recognize their value and contributions in shaping the bright futures of our
children.
Legacy teachers
change lives
In February 2025, the Legacy Board approved a 2% salary increase for all returning teachers. This increase, designed to help offset rising cost-of-living expenses, will take effect for the 2025–2026 academic year and is based on each teacher’s 2024–2025 salary.
Calculating average salary
Year-to-year changes in the level of teacher experience and education in the Legacy teacher population affect the
average salary. As an example, a teacher with 10 years of experience and a master’s degree may leave a school and
be replaced the following year with a teacher who has four years of experience and a bachelor’s degree. This
substantial difference in years of experience and education would lower the school’s average teacher salary. When
all teacher salaries are looked at in the aggregate and compared from year-to-year, the increase in the average
salary for all teachers will differ from the percentage increase given to each individual teacher.
