There's not. Each school gets around $98k (or something close to that) to hire a teacher. It's basically the max salary that the 10+ years of experience teachers get. If they hire a new teacher at $60k, the school doesn't "save" the extra $38k, it just goes back to the board. Since it's the school hiring the teachers, and not the board, there's no incentive to hire cheaper teachers to save money.
