It's all about the unions up here. I have a friend who teaches in Kentucky and she was floored too. But, the average salary of the Detroit Public School District (who have been on strike for two weeks now) is over $70K.
Most do go on to get the Masters because they already have 20 credits toward it and with the Masters they get another raise. I believe the standard is Bachelor's +10 credits= raise, Bachelors + 20= raise, Masters=raise, Specialist = raise, PhD = raise. I know a lot who get the Specialist, but few who go for the PhD.
But yeah, it's all about the unions. (And, I don't think you could pay me enough to work in the Detroit Public Schools as a teacher.. most say they need hazard pay.. Suburban schools, sure, whole different ball game!)
