Average Salaries for School-Based Positions
School-based positions are budgeted using an average salary method within each job classification. For example, teachers working the standard 191-day school year are grouped into one classification, except for Teachers on Special Assignment (TOSA) and District Program Facilitators (DPF), which are considered promotional teacher positions and thereby tend to have a higher average salary. Related service providers, such as counselors and library media specialists, who work beyond the standard 191 days, are classified separately due to their higher average salary, which reflects their additional duty days.
A cost of living adjustment is then applied to the average salary to account for automatic contractual and negotiated salary increases, as well as variations in contractual days. Additionally, a percentage (37.7% for most school- and department-based positions) of the salary is included to account for the district’s obligations for benefits including taxes, pension contributions, and health/dental/life insurance.
Positions that are part of a department rather than a school are budgeted by the actual salary, not an average.
