Pay is only one part of what motivates teachers. I've seen more teachers leave because they don't feel empowered than I have because of pay.

I wonder if lack of empowerment is partially caused by unnecessary layers in administration. Admins are there "support" teachers but that probably also takes away some of the job aspects that feel "empowering."

Definitely part of it. Public schools, like many businesses and institutions, are full of administrative positions with inflated salaries who do some vaguely defined job.
