For assistant teachers, either an equal percent increase or a livable wage would apply, whichever is greater. The current rate for a first year teacher is $30,900. Below is a schedule of MAE's Plan. At the end of the page, please find the starting salaries for other four-year degrees. Those starting salaries range from $40,700 for a degree in marketing to $54,100 for a degree in nursing. By way of contrast, Mississippi's starting salary for a first year teacher with a four-year degree is $30,900.

  • Appendix B: Maps of Mississippi's Public School Districts
    Appendix B: Maps of Mississippi’s Public School Districts This appendix includes maps of each Mississippi public school district showing posted bridges that could potentially impact school bus routes, noted by circles. These include any bridges posted for single axle weight limits of up to 20,000 pounds and bridges posted for gross vehicle weight limits of up to 33,000 pounds. Included with each map is the following information for each school district: the total number of bridges in the district; the number of posted bridges potentially impacting school districts, including the number of single axle postings, number of gross weight postings, and number of tandem axle bridges; the number of open bridges that should be posted according to bridge inspection criteria but that have not been posted by the bridge owners; and, the number of closed bridges.1 PEER is also providing NBI/State Aid Road Construction bridge data for each bridge posted for single axle weight limits of up to 20,000 pounds and gross vehicle weight limits of up to 33,000 pounds. Since the 2010 census, twelve Mississippi public school districts have been consolidated with another district or districts. PEER included the maps for the original school districts in this appendix and indicated with an asterisk (*) on each map that the district has since been consolidated with another district. SOURCE: PEER analysis of school district boundaries from the U. S. Census Bureau Data (2010); bridge locations and statuses from the National Bridge Index Database (April 2015); and, bridge weight limit ratings from the MDOT Office of State Aid Road Construction and MDOT Bridge and Structure Division.
