    My school district is one of the few that pays a competitive wage to be private industry to their teachers in the U.S. The local teacher unions are extremely strong and have had numerous strikes over the years.

    They unionized the non-certificated staff and they have gone on strike as well.

    This past summer they were getting 100+ applicants for every open teacher position. Every open position is filled easily.

        West coast with a mixed demographic. About 50% of the district qualifies for reduced or free lunches. About 1/3 of the schools are title 1.
