Summary
North Dakota’s teachers are getting paid less than ever, slipping to 41st in national salary rankings — a slight improvement from last year’s 42nd — with average pay hitting just under $59K, down $1K from the prior year. While still higher than neighbors like South Dakota and Montana, the state lags behind others actively boosting teacher compensation. Advocates are pushing for systemic changes in the next fiscal year to attract and retain educators, but legislative action remains uncertain. State funding shifts and local taxes also play key roles, but the big picture shows North Dakota falling behind as other states race ahead to reward educators for their critical work.
