SELECTED CERTIFICATED SALARIES AND RELATED STATISTICS, 2000-01

In May 2001, every California school district and county office of education was given the opportunity to complete an optional form entitled, "2000-01 Salary and Benefit Schedule for the Certificated Bargaining Unit (Form J-90)." This form requests salary schedule information, employee placement on the salary schedules by full-time equivalents, bargaining unit bonuses paid for selected services, salaries and days of service for school principals and superintendents, and health and welfare benefits by carrier with amounts paid by the district or county office per employee. This data is useful to California school districts and county offices, employee bargaining units, school consulting agencies, academic institutions and state policy makers. The California Department of Education (CDE) additionally uses this material for completing specified information required for the School Accountability Report Card (Education Code Section 41409.3).

Participation in this survey is voluntary and thus there is less than 100 percent reporting of all school districts and county offices. Each school district and county office of education was, however, encouraged to respond by written communications from the CDE and from School Services of California, Inc. (SSC), CDE's contracting agency for compilation of this material. Additionally, districts who had not responded and whose average daily attendance (ADA) exceeded 1,000 were telephoned by SSC a minimum of two times and encouraged to complete the survey. This report includes 889 district and county office responses.

To ensure the validity of the data, each survey was checked for reasonableness before being input into the database. After input, the data was reprinted and checked again. Finally, the printed schedule was mailed to the school district or county office for confirmation. Over 854 agencies, or 96 percent of total respondents, answered the confirmation request, and any changes were then incorporated into the final database.

We are pleased with the final response by school districts and county offices. This report is the most comprehensive certificated salary and benefit data available in the state, and includes information from 85 percent of school districts and county offices of education representing 99 percent of the state's ADA.

The actual 2000-01 teacher salary schedules, health and welfare benefit amounts, and other selected statistics for each responding agency are available for download from the Internet at the California Department of Education Web site . This data may also be purchased from School Services of California. Any questions regarding ordering should be directed to Kathe Carter at School Services (916) 446-7517 ext.120.
