You may notice (as we did) that School District reports of admin/teacher salaries are not uniform/standard, making a simple audit or analysis much more difficult. This problem should be addressed by the School Districts and ISBE. Believe it or not, the information below is not required.
What should be listed on every School District report of teacher and administrator salaries and employee count (for auditing):
Full Name
Position (teacher/administrator)
Department or Role (i.e. Math)
Full Time or Part Time Status
Years of Service
Base Salary
Health Insurance
Extracurricular Activity Pay
Pension/Retirement
Bonuses
Housing
Vehicle Allowance
Clothing Allowance
Other (describe in report)
Column Totals
Total District Administrator & Teacher Count
Also, to properly audit, we believe it is also important for taxpayers to know the TOTAL STAFF count within each district - including support staff, maintenance staff, etc. Currently, no local school district provides this information.
