In Nevada's Clark County,
teachers with more than 30 years
of experience actually earn substantially less total compensation than a
novice teacher: the loss in retirement payments for such a
teacher who remains employed another year is more than the difference between his
salary and that
of a newly hired
teacher.
Figure 2 — which illustrates the compensation division between
salary and pension in five - year increments — reveals the extent to which differences in total compensation earned by HISD
teachers with varying experience compares with that
of novice teachers.
