Activity for Students without Access to a Classroom Locate the website of a local school district or one in which you may want to teach. Browse the site's budget section, and try to determine how much of the district's budget is allocated to teacher salaries and professional development. Also, check out the teacher salary schedule. How do these figures compare to those mentioned in this text? Write down several questions you might want to ask about finance issues when you interview with a district (e.g., "How much of your district's budget goes to teacher professional development?").
