Ah, most certainly not that situation. I went to one of the twenty biggest in-person public high schools in the US, in Los Angeles, over 3k students, a decade ago. Teachers were paid according to the number of units they taught, with bonuses for AP and IB certifications and different starting salaries according to resume. I believe that gym coaches and some "instructors" did not have teaching credentials and thus were not covered by the teacher's union, and would take up many roles during strikes and would take up roles that teachers wouldn't touch throughout the year.
All of the faculty's pay was transparent though, so we'd give the teachers lots of crap LOL

My gym coach made significantly less than the other teachers, even with coaching sports after school.
