Mountain View–Los Altos teachers are best paid in state

Report: MVLA teachers are best paid in state

by Kelsey Mesher
Mountain View Voice Staff

According to data released by the state Department of Education this month and compiled by the Sacramento Bee, teachers in the Mountain View-Los Altos High School District are the highest paid in the state.

"We have the best teachers in the state and they deserve to be paid well," said Superintendent Barry Groves.

The Bee’s report, which examined districts with more than 100 teachers, said MVLA pays an average of $95,365 a year, with the lowest earning $61,184 and the highest $115,616.

According to the state data, teachers in the Mountain View Whisman School District make an average of $61,147 annually. The lowest pay offered in that district is $44,609, while the highest is $82,315.

In the Los Altos School District, teachers earn between $44,832 and $86,924, with an average salary of $73,569.

Congrats to Mountain View and Los Altos for this achievement! No wonder we have some of the best schools in California!

Now, granted, teachers in NY, NJ, and CT suburbs with lower priced housing regularly make over $100k – but let’s face it, they don’t have the right priorities. That’s why their schools are only top of the nation, not top of California.

Prisons and bus drivers. California’s got everything right.

(BTW, be sure to check out the comments at the bottom of the link above. Lots of good discussion.)

  1. Not the RBA Says:

    It may be high, but their top-out isn’t the highest in the state. That’s $119,657 in King City (link goes to the Sac Bee database.) And they’ve lost their accreditation and been taken over by the state.

    See Mountain View–you have something to aspire to.

  2. nomadic Says:

    Not bad for nine months’ work each year.

  3. SEA Says:

    This is a strange issue. On the one hand, so many tout that RBA homes are worth millions and double every 10 years or sooner. On the other hand, so many want to complain that a teacher’s salary is 1/10 of the cost of a million dollar home. In terms of purchase price to average teacher’s salary, it’s well over 10x for most RBA teachers. Basically homes are valuable, but teachers are not as valuable, yet some claim that the fine schools, a fine education underpins, at least in part, the greatness of the RBA. There might be sushi in Fremont, but that’s not part of the RBA, since homes are not valuable in most of the East Bay.

    It’s similar for other public servants, such as police. What’s the average San Jose home price-to-average income ratio of a San Jose Police Officer. Yes, I fully realize that many officers live outside of the city because of high housing costs–are officers paid too little, or are housing prices too high? I know, I know, housing prices are too low and officers are paid too much. It does not matter that most public servants cannot afford the homes in the area. We need not worry about demand, people’s ability to buy, and so on. The only thing that needs to be considered is that in the RBA homes double in price every 10 years or sooner, no matter what’s happening in the labor market, and that’s not to even consider the financial markets–but then again, if it’s in the RBA, there’s plenty of investment cash available.

    It looks like the teachers commenting on the original article also suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect (thank you madhaus for posting this a few days ago, it was quite interesting).

    I think the teachers are paid appropriately.

  5. nomadic Says:

    I think the teachers are paid appropriately.

    Which ones, groomer? There appears to be quite a range, depending on district.

    Different ranges based on age group make sense to me, but even that would make an interesting debate. (Whether the better paid teachers should be the ones working with little kids in their formative years, or the ones who have the challenges of prepping older ones for college.)

  6. madhaus Says:

    Did you notice the comment in the MVV article that said a few Palo Alto addresses went to MV-Whisman or Los Altos school districts? I can guess where the LA ones are (mountains) but where are the MVW addresses? Next to Charleston?

  7. Real Estater Says:

    Most of the condos on San Antonio go to Mountain View schools despite having Palo Alto addresses. They petitioned to get into PAUSD but failed. The school district has no room for them.

  8. bob Says:

    Ahhh… another school article.

  9. Michael Says:

    I grew up in Los Altos and was in the Cupertino Union School District. It just depends on where you live…

    > Dunning-Kruger effect

    “unskilled person makes poor decisions and reaches erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to realize their mistakes.[1] The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average, much higher than it actually”

    That sounds like RealEstater!

  11. Real Estater Says:

    OK, guys. Ready to smear some eggs on Pralay’s face?

    It’s time to face the music again, and do another follow-up. 585 N California was sold for $1.8M, well over the $1.35M asking price.

  12. Petsmart groomer Says:

    > 585 N California was sold for $1.8M, well over the $1.35M asking price.

    This would never happen on the other side of Middlefield :-)

  13. SEA Says:

    Real Estater- “585 N California was sold for $1.8M, well over the $1.35M asking price.”

    What kind of REALTOR/seller prices so far under fair market value?

  14. Real Estater Says:

    SEA,

    Do you think a realtor in your neighborhood dares to try this trick?

  15. Pralay Says:

    It’s time to face the music again, and do another follow-up. 585 N California was sold for $1.8M, well over the $1.35M asking price.
    —-

    And how exactly it validates your claim “30 offers for $1.7M cash”? :)

  16. Pralay Says:

    Do you think a realtor in your neighborhood dares to try this trick?
    —-

    Do you think your own house, which is in the wrong side of Middlefield, can do the trick?

  17. SEA Says:

    What I am asking is how did the REALTOR/seller miss the mark so far? I love buying property from people that price so low.

  18. SEA Says:

    Maybe they should have asked for $1.8M and hoped for $2.0M?

  19. Real Estater Says:

    >>Do you think your own house, which is in the wrong side of Middlefield, can do the trick?

    If I list my house for $1.8M, it will sell in 1 week. No trick required.

  20. Real Estater Says:

    Another success story in Palo Alto:

    Seven days was all it took. Accepting an all-cash offer, Isobel Sheehan sold her Palo Alto townhouse recently for nearly $900,000, joining other Bay Area homeowners who’ve begun to come in from the recessionary cold.

  21. Pralay Says:

    When you say “no trick required”, I assume you are implying “my house CANNOT do the same trick”.

  22. DreamT Says:

    “If I list my house for $1.8M, it will sell in 1 week”

    I don’t think so. But a couple of your neighbors may definitely make that claim.

    How much was it worth?

  24. Real Estater Says:

    >>How much was it worth?

    Apparently, $900K.

  25. madhaus Says:

    How much was it worth?

    And which side of Middlefield was it on?

  26. Real Estater Says:

    >>I don’t think so. But a couple of your neighbors may definitely make that claim.

    It doesn’t really matter what you think, does it? 94301 has been immune to the downturn. Majority of the homes are selling at within 10% of the peak period. The graph you showed is for amateurs. The apparent drop in the graph is due to the fact that lower priced homes made up of majority of the transactions during the downturn period. A graph is generally a bad way to measure 94301 anyways, because sales volume is generally quite low, and every home is different.

  27. Real Estater Says:

    >>And which side of Middlefield was it on?

    A spherical object does not have right or left side, you idiot.

  28. Real Estater Says:

    Guys,

    How much more evidence do you need that now is a great time to take on a mortgage? The reason folks on the sidelines are jumping in now is because it really doesn’t get better than this. Nobody wants to look back 1 year from now and regret not catching the moment of opportunity. Stay tuned, you’ll see higher rates as well as higher prices by this time next year.

  29. DreamT Says:

    RE, by your own admission you own a low-priced property in your neighborhood (rising tide lifts all boats, etc.), so my comment is very much relevant.
    As for your cheap attack, when I choose to comment on your thinking abilities, you’ll be welcome to state your opinion, until then please stay on topic – real estate – and be decent.

  30. anon Says:

    Lol – Every house in 94301 is unique and special. Like snowflakes. Or realtors. Or middle managers.

  31. Real Estater Says:

    DreamT,

    Are you really that clueless? The term “low priced home” on my street does not have the same meaning as on your street.

  32. SEA Says:

    Now that we know the place was worth $900k. How much should the REALTOR, a paid professional, and the buyer, who seeks to maximize selling price, priced it?

  33. madhaus Says:

    And every neighborhood in 94301 also has worthless graphs because every neighborhood in 94301 has low-priced homes that are down much much more than 10%. By definition, every neighborhood has a lowest quartile, and I guess that’s where #26 lives. Since the peak was in 2008, that means the homes are down more than 20%. You know, the “icing.”

  34. Real Estater Says:

    >>Every house in 94301 is unique and special.

    That’s literally true. You will have to search very hard to find a home that is not unique in this zip. I’m pretty sure there is exactly 1 copy of my own home.

  35. Real Estater Says:

    >>Now that we know the place was worth $900k. How much should the REALTOR, a paid professional, and the buyer, who seeks to maximize selling price, priced it?

    A home is worth what the market will bear. A paid, professional realtor will price a home so that market forces will determine the worth of the home.

  36. madhaus Says:

    I’m pretty sure there is exactly 1 copy of my own home.

    Are you sure? It looks a lot like today’s featured house.

  37. DreamT Says:

    “The term “low priced home” on my street does not have the same meaning as on your street.”

    Oh yes it does, sir. It means your neighbors’ house would, in the average, sell for rather more than yours if you concurrently placed it on the market. Some for 3M or 4M. Yours wouldn’t get $1.8M today.
    If you disagree, disprove it.

  38. Real Estater Says:

    >>because every neighborhood in 94301 has low-priced homes that are down much much more than 10%.

    If you can find such a home, I suggest you buy it now before the crowd recognizes the existence of such value.

  39. madhaus Says:

    A paid, professional realtor will price a home so that market forces will determine the worth of the home.

    Wrong, #35. A paid, professional realtor will price a home to generate the fastest commission.

  40. madhaus Says:

    >>because every neighborhood in 94301 has low-priced homes that are down much much more than 10%.

    If you can find such a home, I suggest you buy it now before the crowd recognizes the existence of such value.

    What crowd? The “crowd” cannot afford your $1.8M wishing price, or the $1.55M it’s probably worth.

  41. Real Estater Says:

    >>If you disagree, disprove it.

    It’s not that I disagree, but that I’m not sure what the hell you’re saying. If my neighbors’ homes can sell for $3M to $4M, why is it mine cannot sell for $1.8M if placed concurrently on the market? If anything, mine will sell faster, because tons of people want to buy into a high value street at a low price.

  42. DreamT Says:

    If your logic is tenable at $1.8M, it would also be tenable at $2.8M, wouldn’t it? Does it make your property worth $2.8M then?

  43. Real Estater Says:

    madhaus,

    Tell you what. I won’t sell my home even if you pay me $2M, because it’s just too hard to find a replacement for such combination of home, location, and lot size in Palo Alto.

  44. Real Estater Says:

    DreamT,

    Speak English.

  45. Real Estater Says:

    madhaus,

    I hate to break it to you, but…I have it all. My home is excellent to live in; it is affordable for 94301, and yet I can double its value in the future by building a new home on the lot. The formula is basically: build equity now; make big bucks later. I can go to sleep smiling every night if I think about it.

  46. DreamT Says:

    RealEstater, is “tenable” bothering you? or is it “worth“?

    Stupid Pralay, this is what I wrote:

    However, if you follow the median consistently, it gives you a good clue about what are the values of the homes that actually transacted.

    This is entirely consistent with what I wrote in #26:

    The apparent drop in the graph is due to the fact that lower priced homes made up of majority of the transactions during the downturn period.

  53. Real Estater Says:

    No, this is what you said one and half years back:

    The most reliable method is to consistently use the same criteria; e.g. median price of homes that sold.

    There is only one consistency here – you use numbers when it fits, otherwise you refute it saying graphs/stats are for “amateurs”.

    You know, I can go to sleep smiling if I helped my family or a friend or my community, or if I shared some music I made, or wrote something that made someone smile and they took the trouble to let me know.

    Somehow tearing my house down in hope of doubling its value just doesn’t do the same thing for me. And somehow, I don’t think I’m the one missing something here.

    Thanks for shameless sales pitch. We heard that “you-will-get-priced-out-next-year” before.

    2008

    The second half of this year is the right timing to build your financial future.

    More in 2008:

    The same thing will happen to the housing market when the rebound occurs — it’ll be very sudden and furious as buyers cave in after a period of low inventory, slow sales and flat prices.

    2009:

    Also in line with this assessment, my view on real estate is that anyone who hopes to ever own a home in the Bay Area better buy this year. The window of opportunity will start closing next year if not sooner.

    We will wait for Real Estater’s forecast next year too – to tell us that if potential buyers don’t buy in 2011, they are going to regret in 2012.

    Wow, price cut a whopping $20K 11 days after a $30K cut. And the place sold in Aug 2009 for $845K. Still $200K above year-ago pricing. Must be something in those freeway fumes. Is 2375 Sierra the 96 Buckingham of Palo Alto? Or is Sierra Ct the equivalent of Hurlingame?

    Actually that’s Real Estater’s own translation. My translation would be something like this:
    I guess Real Estater is the only dumbo in 94301 who has to make lot of effort to convince people he lives there. While Steve Jobs is making money by selling iPhone and iPad, his neighbor spending lots of time in Burbed to convince how he can double his home value by building 2nd home in his lot and he can “sleep smiling every night” thinking about it.

    LOL! Does Burbed requires mandatory announcement if someone had (or having) kid? Or Burbed requires someone to have kid if he/she is visiting this site for 3 years? Which one?

    I guess that’s just another Dunning–Kruger effect.

  87. Pralay Says:

    It could be Dunning–Kruger effect or it could be as bad as nomadic described in other thread

    Let’s call it bullshit.

    LOL! Real Estater is calling himself “visionary”.
    Thanks for the laugh! :)

    In case you missed ABC Jizz…I mean News tonight: Diane Sawyer interviewed Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto.

    Zuckerberg said that he lives in a small house within walking distance of work (maybe College Terrace?). His GF is “just an Asian kid” at Stanford Medical School.

    It’s amazing how much talent and money is gathered within the city limits.

  101. Real Estater Says:

    >>Let’s call it bullshit.

    Really?

  102. Real Estater Says:

    Yup, College Terrace is where the insanely rich kid next door lives.

    Ok, let’s check it.
    This is what the article says:

    The University of California Board of Regents reacted enthusiastically Wednesday to developing a fully online undergraduate degree program at the top-tier research institution they oversee, and endorsed a pilot program to test it.

    New let’s read what Real Estater said.

    That reminds of recent news stating that online education will become part of University of California’s education strategy.

    That’s why I call it bullshit.

    Ask yourself some basic, dumb questions, such as: If something is not part of an organization’s strategy, would it even be piloted?

    But Zuckerberg is now a neighbor in a much more real sense, according to our tipster, renting a home right next door to Karim (as in side by side) on the same street.

    Just another rentard.

    No, if the outcome of pilot program is positive in term of various factors including quality, it could become “part of University of California’s education strategy”. Just read the article. I doubt you even read it.

    Your misleading statement makes you Real Estater Misleader.

    But don’t worry. If those rentards had kids, they couldn’t send their kids to YOUR school. YOUR school exclusively for homedebtors.

    That’s creates more trouble for you to fit in your own city.

  109. madhaus Says:

    #107, #104 said you couldn’t send your kids to his school. Since you don’t have any kids, that was inadvertently true.

    Even a blind squirrel stops a clock now and then.

    Of course you could move to his neighborhood anytime, but why would you want to live on the wrong side?

    Real Estater- “Now we know who is the visionary and who is the joker.”

    Is this a joke?

  111. nomadic Says:

    #102 – why glorify a rentard transient? Just because he’s worth $2B on paper? lol

    There is even a comment from our Emperor.

    That’s just your dumb assumption. I am pretty sure you haven’t read the article yourself. There are plenty of people in UC who are skeptical about it.
