Abstract:

The Educational Research Service has collected nationally representative data on the salaries and wages of 23 professional and 10 support positions in precollegiate education for the current school year. The Arlington, Va.-based nonprofit organization has been collecting salary data for more than 30 years through its annual survey, but it just started to weight the data to represent national figures this year. The data for 2004-05 show significant variations in pay across districts of different sizes, locations, and amounts of per-pupil spending. "A clear relationship between the size of a school district and the salaries its employees earn emerges from the data, but that link holds only for higher-paid jobs...no such relationship appears for lower-paying positions, such as assistant principal, teacher, counselor, librarian, or nurse." View the data and read an Education Week summary. (151k PDF File)
