I am a teacher in Virginia. I work at an urban school in a poorer city. My starting pay was $37,000. Although this is not much other shool systems especaily in the larger cities pay up to 47,000. It all depends on wgo that school system you want to work for. If you want a more percise answer, log onto to different cities in VA and go to schools web pages. (Some cities are goochland, hanover, henrico, hopewell, colonial heights, petersburg, chesterfield) The schools web page will contain a spot for job openings and a salary scale. This is the easiest way to find out how much a school system pays.
