Teachers are (in general) paid what the market will bear. If the pay rate is "too low", people will stop teaching (or not go into teaching) and the rate will rise. If your school district is not getting enough (qualified) applicants for open positions, the rate is too low. If you are getting many more applicants than are needed, the rate is too high.
