By John Dean Athletic Director Norther HS, Detroit, MI
The Detroit Public School System has devised a formula based strictly on a percentage of the base salary of a first-year teacher.
Head coaches for football, basketball, and cheerleading are the highest paid - $3,066. Assistant coaches are paid $1,804 and are responsible for coaching the jayvee teams.
Why does cheerleading rate so high? Because its coaches have to work successive seasons (football and basketball) before getting a break.
Though I coach the varsity football team, I don't get paid extra. The coaching comes with the job.
