How much a teacher makes depends upon how long they have been teaching and how much education they. Here's a link to the salary schedule for my district. Generally getting your credential puts a new teacher in the BA + 30 column.

Do the 4th and 5th grade classes really only have 20 students per class. Class size reduction is only funded by the state for K - 3.
