This article presents a historical analysis about the career and remuneration of teachers in the municipality of São Sebastião do Caí/RS, between 1932 and 1964. Books containing records of payments made to employees of the municipality of São Sebastião do Caí and the municipal legislation were mobilized as documentary sources for the study. The research was carried out following the procedures of the “historiographic operation”, as proposed by Michel de Certeau (2000). In dialogue with the reference literature in the field of the History of Education, the analysis highlights permanencies concerning to the teachers' devaluation.
