New and experienced teachers will get a raise after 14 years of experience. The new salary system will compensate them based on their highest degree earned; in addition to the base, all teachers can supplement their pay by coaching or teaching in low-level or specialized schools. Please see below the pay scales per degree. 

Master’s Degree

The Palm Beach School District will pay you $3,000 annually for a Master’s Degree; this results in $78,000 over a 25 Year Career of Additional income. Depending on the cost of your Master this will or won’t make it an excellent choice to get your Master’s when planning to work in Palm Beach as a teacher. A regionally accredited university must have awarded the Degree. Check out the full Pay Schedule Below.




Doctorate Degree: 

The Palm Beach  School District will pay you $6,000 annually for a Doctorate. This results in $156,000 over a 25 Year Career of Additional income. This makes it worth getting your Doctorate when planning to work in Palm Beach as a teacher because 6,000 a year will most likely pay for the cost of a doctorate but may not be worth the stress( This is my opinion). An employee with a master’s Degree and a Doctorate or equivalent degree shall receive the Doctorate differential only. A regionally accredited university must have awarded a degree.
