Jeanette: Expect to make around 25,000. That's pretty good
for this state, if you have some experience. I got 3 yrs out
of 19 given me, and with MEd +30 I make 40K after 6 years.
Montana offers nothing extra for their teachers, no home
loans, the worst benefits you've ever seen. I still rent
with my family after 6 years in Bozeman, where the average
cost of a home is 278K. Oh, I could buy a trailer for 98K if
I wanted to, but am planning on leaving this state soon.

I'd think twice before I came, I didn't and it's been a
disaster for me and my family.
Good luck,
Maureen

I am also curious because most other states offer
