NO,
Teachers are employed by the School District. The School District takes the money allotted to it from the State and any Federal funds and uses that to pay the salary of the teachers.
The School District is responsible for the teacher's pay, but most teachers belong to a powerful union and that union sets the pay scales. They also try to get the State to increase the teacher's pay. When that is done then the teacher's union sets the new pay rates. The state can decide on the minimum payment for teachers, but the teacher's union decides how the more experienced teachers are paid.
If the federal government wants to set a teacher's pay level then they would have to pass a law allowing them to do this. Until that time the power lies with the States.
In private schools the teachers are not unionized, nor paid out of public funds. The company (or church) that runs the school decides how much the teachers are paid (usually better than public school teachers). This pay is determined by the tuition that the parents pay the school for their students to attend. The more the school charges, or the more students that attend the school; then more money is available to pay the teachers.

They are employees of whoever is running the school system, which could be the state, the county or the city, depending on where you live. They are NOT federal employees.

My mom's a teacher and she's a federal employee. I guess if you work for the public school systems you are.

If they work for the Public School then they are state or city employees.

I believe that teachers are the employees of your local school board, which of course, I believe you vote for, and therefore they are employees of your local government. ?
