Executive Summary
The purpose of this Administrative Salary Study is to comply with the request of The Pickerington Local School
District Board of Education and Administration to objectively compare the district’s administrative salary and
benefit levels with a selected group of comparable geographically proximate school districts. The district is
interested in retaining and attracting the best talent available for the students attending the school district. The
previous Salary Study the district commissioned was dated July 1999. It is the goal that this current study would
provide updated information with which to make informed decisions concerning administrative compensation.
The goal of a compensation system is to provide an organization the ability to attract and retain valued
employees. However, compensation is just one of many factors that influence prospective and current
employees. Climate, culture, workload, and location are also key factors in an individual’s decision matrix for
choosing a place of employment.
Based on our review of the voluminous data collected in this study it appears that the Pickerington Local School
district compensation system for administrators is at or very near the bottom in the comparison group of
districts selected for peer review in this study. This can be observed by looking at Table 6-1 on page 57 in the
back of this report. This table sums up the outcome of the salary and fringe benefit numbers analyzed in the
study.
In addition, Table 3-1 on page 45 shows that the annual employee cost for district health insurance for
administrators ranks the highest in the group for a single plan and second highest for a family plan. This coupled
with the lower compensation noted in Table 6-1 on page 57 would suggest the district is not as competitive
compared with similar districts who are competing for the same leadership talent.
Another concern for the district in promoting building leaders from the internal pool of teachers is the daily rate
gap noted in Table 5-1 on page 56. The daily rate for a starting position for principals and assistants ranges from
83% to 92% of the daily rate for a teacher with a Masters Degree on Step 10. While total compensation due to
additional work days in administrative contracts and retirement pick-up, results in higher total compensation on
an annual basis; this could with time become a problem if the gap continues to grow.
The District Administration will need to study this information and attempt to determine the long term impact
on the district’s ability to promote, attract and retain top administrative talent. Generally speaking the district’s
relative rank in compensation may not contribute to assisting in attracting the top leadership talent, and if the
district is successful in doing so, other districts in the geographic area may learn to target the district as a good
source to recruit talent from because they have more purchasing power.
Long term, if this occurs, that could hurt the district’s ability to continue to be an “Excellent” or “A” rated district
if high quality administrative talent is not attracted and/or retained. For instance if building principals and
assistants are not attracted to the district this could likely have negative consequences for the districts academic
achievement. As pointed out in Successful Schools: From Research to Action Plans (Daggett, 2005), “…creating a
culture that embraces the belief that all students need a rigorous and relevant curriculum and all children can
learn”…, is one of the most important criteria to successful education in a school building. Building principals
are a center piece in establishing that culture in a school. Consequently it must be true that districts seeking the
highest academic achievement must also pursue highly talented building administrators.
In conclusion, the administration has to decide what value they place on their ability to attract and retain
administrative talent and establish a plan that accomplishes this goal and is financially sustainable. In the
meantime administration should be vigilant for signs that the district is not attracting the talent they desire and
that current leaders begin to leave for other districts. These may be warning signs that the salary and benefit
structure is beginning to have a negative consequence for the district.

Salary Study Scope and Methodology
Field Work
The Board of Education and Administration, with the help of K-12 Business Consulting, selected six (6) nearby
comparable school districts “Peer Districts”. The Peer Districts are known to compete for the same
administrative talent pool as the Pickerington Local Schools. The peer group district demographic data is
discussed on page 7 of this report.
The initial field work and data requests began November 5, 2013, with follow-up emails December 4, 2013,
January 13, 2014, January 22, 2014, January 30, 2014, and February 9 & 11, 2014. In addition, several follow-up
phone calls and discussions were made to seek clarification and reminders for the data. The field work and data
collection was concluded on February 25, 2014.
We believe the data collected through February 28, 2014 is substantially correct and complete. Only two (2)
peer group districts, New Albany Plain Local and Olentangy Local School District, completed the entire survey
information as requested. The rest of the peer group districts returned other recent salary survey data along
with copies of administrative guidelines and/or internal documents supporting administrative benefits and
salary schedules. This information has been analyzed in order to complete the information in the survey data
base.
Scope and Data Requested
The scope pf the Salary Study was to identify and collect information on all forms of compensation and fringe
benefits offered to peer group administrators compared to Pickerington Local Schools. The primary method of
collecting the data required was by email survey sent to the peer group district treasurer’s and in some cases
human resource directors to obtain the data needed. The survey was created to collect specific data so all levels
of compensation and benefits could be identified and evaluated.
Data requested:

1. Position Title
2. Contract Days
3. Salary High
4. Salary Low
5. Annuity % Paid by District

Establishing Position Codes and Similar Positions
Once the data was collected from peer districts the most tedious and difficult part of the study was to identify
like positions between districts. There are 362 administrators employed in total by the seven (7) districts in this
study. Certain positions were easy to identify as exactly comparable such as Superintendent, Treasurer, High
School, Middle School and Elementary School Principals. When developing like positions for central office
administrators however, this became very difficult as there are a number of different organization
configurations and atypical job titles used by the comparison districts.
Another layer of difficulty was that most district Organization Charts are dated. Some are four (4) years old and
many of the job descriptions reported do not appear on the organization chart or jobs appearing on the
organization charts have no job descriptions reported. When this occurred we relied on the title of the jobs
reported on any salary study supplied or the administrative salary schedule.
We evaluated position titles and organization structures and did the best job possible to identify comparable
positions in this study. To determine precise comparisons of all central office jobs between a number of districts
is likely not possible as they may never exactly line up job duties to job duties district to district. To get a higher
level of accuracy would require onsite interviews with one or more human resource staff at each district which
would be a substantial cost due to time spent that would likely result in a negative cost benefit relationship.
As the reader looks at certain comparisons in this study there may appear to be an outlier in the group. We
believe in some cases it appears that individual pay for a position may be related to the unique skill and ability
level of the specific person in the job. This can result in a position’s pay appearing as an outlier in a group but
the overall position would be close in nature to the others being compared with in the chart or table.
Below are position codes we established and assigned to those reported by the peer group districts that closely
align with the Pickerington Local School district’s job titles and positions as this is the focus of this study:

Report Structure
The report is structured into four sections, Section One: Peer Group Demographic Data; Section Two:
Compensation Comparisons; Section Three: Health Insurance Costs; Section Four: Tables of Salary and Benefit
Data Gathered, and; Section Five: Analysis of School Building Administrator Daily Rate Compared to Teacher
Daily Rate. A brief discussion of the data is offered at the beginning of each section.
Section One: Peer Group Student/Staff/Demographic Data
Table 1-1 on page 8 illustrates the six (6) peer group districts selected, student average daily membership
(ADM), staff full time equivalents (FTE), and other key data that gives insight into the size and economic
comparability of the districts. The reader of this report can draw some general conclusions about administrative
pay and workload by reviewing the data presented in the Table.
The ADM/Staff Ratio can give insight into the relative work load of FTE employees of each district. The districts
ratio of 9.75 (including contracted transportation staff of 96 for comparison purposes) is 7.1% higher than the
next highest district which is Olentangy. The district outsources transportation and for comparison purposes
these staff positions were added into the district staff FTE so apples-to-apples comparison could be made. The
9.75 ratio indicates on a macro level a higher efficiency of staff utilization in the district which also leads to lower
costs relative to number of students as noted in Table 1-1. This means district staff has a marginally higher
workload. The district operating budget of $97.4 million is the second lowest proportionate to size of the
comparison group.
The average administrator income is a measure of base wages and does not reflect other potential employee
compensation such as annuities, retirement and Medicare pick-up. The Gahanna district placed all such benefit
costs in their base wages as can be seen in the comparison which is not the norm in this comparison group. In
this comparison the Gahanna school district appears to be an outlier as their wage number is more “fully
loaded” than the other districts. The district average administrator cost for FY12 of $79,605 is the lowest in the
comparison group for base wages.
By comparing the average administrator salary to the average teacher salary we can see the administrative pay
gap between the average teachers wage and the average administrative wages. Since many administrators
come from the teaching ranks many districts intentionally maintain a gap between teacher and administrator
pay to encourage a career path for promising administrators who could be groomed inside the district to
assume leadership positions. This can have positive implication for the district as it does for private sector
businesses as noted in leadership work such as in the book “Good to Great “(Collins, 2001). It was well
documented in the book that top leadership in eleven of the twelve companies studied came from within each
of the successful companies. The pay gap of 1.25 in Table 1-1 indicates that a 26% increase on average could be
obtained if a staff member accepted a position in administration. However, this can be misleading since a
typical teacher work year is 184 days and a typical administrator is roughly 228 work days, which is 24% more in
terms of days worked. Therefore extra compensation comes with commensurate added days of work. If the
gap is not wide enough future internal leaders may not be enticed to accept administrative positions. See Table
5-1 on page 56 for a more in-depth look at this gap.
In summary, Table 1-1 indicates from this macro data that the districts staff has a heavier work load on average
and the average administrator pay is the lowest in the comparison group according to the data sources
referenced in the table for FY12, which was the most current data available at the time this study commenced.

Section Two: Compensation Comparisons
In this section of the report we will show two comparison charts of the positions in each district. The first chart
will reflect the base salary at the low, medium and high range as reported by the district or extracted from the
district salary schedule, and the second chart will show the position at the high end of the base compensation
range with additional compensation or compensation equivalents added in. All charts will follow an alphabetical
listing of the district. If a district does not show up in the comparison graph it was determined that they did not
have an equivalent position in that district. If a chart had less than three (3) comparison districts and there was
no comparison for Pickerington Local Schools, the chart was left out. If a chart had only Pickerington Local
School data (for instance Junior High Principal and Assistant Principals) those charts were omitted as well.
All wage and benefit data are shown in the Tables in Section Four of the report for additional information.
Base Wage Charts
In the base wage chart (top chart on the page) if only one marker is noted “ “this means there is not a low or
high base wage amount there is only this amount. This typically means there is not a salary schedule and that
this is an individually negotiated wage. Each district has to some extent set it’s own practice of establishing
administrative wages. If the chart has a marker shaped in this manner “ “it indicates a wage range for the
position low to high. A table has been added in each graph so the actual numbers are easy to see in addition to
the visual reference for the reader.
Total Compensation Charts
The total compensation chart (bottom stacked bar chart on each page) shows the base wage at the high level
and computes cash equivalent benefits that were reported to us by the district or was interpreted from data
supplied when a survey was not completed by the peer district. Items considered in the total compensation
charts are noted below:
1. Base wages at the high level ( was used because most positions reported were at the top or high end)
2. STRS/SERS retirement paid on behalf of the administrator
3. Administrators share of Medicare paid on their behalf
4. Annual annuity amount paid
5. Annual performance bonus
6. Annual tuition paid
7. Amount paid into Health Savings Account
8. Annual professional development cost if different than tuition paid
9. Annual car allowance
10. Annual travel stipend if stated
11. Annual cell phone payment or reimbursement
Total Compensation and Deferred Contract Values
This information is contained in Section Four of the report as data tables which are the best method to show the
reader an evaluation of this data. The tables there will value vacation buy-back and severance pay which is
considered a deferred benefit. Please see Section Four beginning on page 46 for this more detailed
information.

Superintendent
The superintendent position is the top administrative position in the school district as outlined in Ohio Revised
Section 3319.01. Every district is required by law to employ a superintendent of schools. All districts in the
study negotiated a base wage and did not report a schedule with a low to high range for salary purposes.

Deputy/Assistant Superintendent
These positions included job titles such as Assistant Superintendents; Deputy Superintendents; Executive
Director of Operations and Human Resources, and; Chief Operations and Strategic Development. These are
positions that work directly for the superintendent and are filled by individuals who have superintendent
licensure and have responsibility for all or major sections of the entire organization that fall under the
superintendents responsibility. They often will serve as acting superintendent if the superintendent is absent
from the district for vacation, professional development or other reasons.

Business Manager/Director of Operations
These positions include jobs titled such as Business Managers; Director of Operations; Director of Business
Operations, and; Director of Business Affairs. These are individuals who are typically responsible for purchasing,
maintenance and grounds, transportation, custodial operations, food service and facility construction and
renovation. There are many variations of these core duties actually in job descriptions but these jobs mostly all
function in and around these duties in one form or another. A major variation in this job is when complete
responsibility for classified human resources is added to the job. This can contribute to higher compensation for
these positions.

Section Three: Health Insurance Costs
Table 3-1 shows the current total annual premium cost, along with the single and family employee share
percentage and the annual dollar amounts associated with each plan type. The plans shown are for the most
commonly selected plan by employees in the district. There are many variables that make up a group health
insurance plan premium or funding factors (for self-insured plans) which could entail an extensive analysis of
plan design and coverage’s which is beyond the scope of this study.
A general metric that can help determine the value of the health care plan being paid for by both the district and
employee is the In-Network Out-Of-Pocket (OOP) amounts for each plan type. The OOP maximums are shown
to help the reader determine the richness of the plan for members. Plans with no or a lower maximum OOP will
generally result in less expense coming from employees when accessing the health benefits. If all plan design
elements of a health care plan were the same, the health care plan would generally be worth more for the
employee if it had lower OOP maximums and lower annual employee contributions.
Generally speaking Gahanna and Westerville’s employee cost plus no ($-0- ) OOP would appear to be the most
attractive combination of the districts compared. Employees costs in Gahanna are $591/$3,034 and in
Westerville $319/$3,340. They have the lowest combined employee and OOP costs making these plans
potentially less expense for employees and more valuable..
The employee cost plus OOP maximums offered Pickerington administrators and employees are $2,232/$5,060.
This places the plan at the rank of the 3rd
highest combined employee cost and OOP maximum plan behind
Worthington (highest) and Olentangy (2nd
) highest. This assumes an employee uses the health care plan and hits
the OOP maximum which is a worst case scenario. The ranking would change somewhat in a best case scenario
if an employee assumes they would never use the health care benefits then Westerville would offer the least
expensive single plan, while New Albany would offer the least expensive family plan to their employees.
This illustrates the difficulty in determining the value of health care to an employee as it is often unknown how
often or when the health care benefit may be used. In that case another way to evaluate a plan would be based
on the annual amount charged to employees without weighting potential value of the underlying health care
benefit structure. In that case the district would rank highest in amount charged employees for single insurance
and 2nd
highest for family coverage.

Section Four: Tables of Salary and Benefit Data Gathered
The tables in this section contain all of the salary and benefit data collected. The tables below contain all of the
data used in the Charts shown in Section Two plus the tables show daily rate, the value of vacation buy-back
and the value of sick leave severance which assumes the employee stays to retirement age and earns the
maximum amount of severance allowed under each districts severance plan as reported. The “Contract Days
Less Leaves” column also reflects holidays and personal leave removed.
“Ret. Pick-up” refers to the district actually paying (picking-up) the employees portion of required retirement
contributions to the State Teachers Retirement System (STRS) for certificated administrators, and the School
Employees Retirement System (SERS) for non-certificated administrators. The employee share for SERS is 10% of
wages. In all the peer group districts (except Gahanna) there is a pick-up on the pick-up so 10% of the 10%
equals 11% total cost or benefit to the employee. For STRS the rate is increasing by 1% a year beginning July 1,
2013. The rate is 11% currently but will go up to 14% on July 1, 2016. An 11% pick-up on pick-up is equal to
12.21%. Hilliard, New Albany and Olentangy school districts will continue to pick-up the employee’s portion
through the increase to 14% which will ultimately be a 15.96% benefit starting July 1, 2016. Westerville is only
picking up this first year at 11% then will cap it at that for future years. Pickerington and Worthington have
frozen the district pick-up at the 10% level for all administrators so 11% is the maximum cost for these districts
going forward.
The “Total Current & Deferred Value” is attempting to value the contract by including all compensation, paid
pick-up costs, annuities, bonuses, and other cash compensation, and the value of annual vacation buy-back plus
sick leave severance days (deferred to the date of retirement). It is important to reiterate that the “Total
Current & Deferred Value” column is not an annual value of the employment contract unless that is the year the
employee chooses to retire and earn the sick leave severance, which is also valued at the maximum days
accumulated. This is shown for illustration purposes in attempting to dichotomize the value of each districts
annual cash payments and the deferred value of vacation and severance pay policies for administrators.
Deferred sick leave severance pay will be of greater value to an employee who has been with the district for a
longer period of time and are perhaps in the last five (5) years of their career. The value of sick leave severance
would have to be factored in when determining the total amount of compensation and contract worth if
evaluating other employment opportunities for an employee at this point in their career.

Section Five: Analysis of School Building Administrator Daily Rate Compared
to Teacher Daily Rate
Table 5-1 is shown to determine the difference in daily rate between the low salary ranges of a building
administrator’s salary on a daily basis compared to a teacher’s daily rate. The rationale is that building
administrators come from the ranks of teachers and the organization needs to make sure there are proper
incentives to assume additional administrative responsibilities to incentivize talented educators to become
building leaders. For sake of comparison the daily rate was selected at the Masters Step 10 position for each
districts teacher salary schedule. This step was selected as an estimate of the time when administrators move
from teaching to administration after attaining their administrative licensure and have classroom experience.
Table 5-1 shows that the beginning level of pay for all of Pickerington’s principals is below the daily rate for a
classroom teacher who has a MA-10. This can be somewhat overcome by pick-up of retirement costs and/or
higher placement on the administrative schedule for a new assistant or building principal. This is a ratio that
should be evaluated after each teacher negotiation to ensure a planned gap is maintained so a career ladder is
apparent to young leadership talent in the teaching staff who may aspire to an administrative position within
the district. Failure to monitor this will likely result in the districts internal talent leaving to pursue leadership
opportunities in other nearby districts who are paying a more attractive compensation package.

  • 4. 3 | P a g e Executive Summary The purpose of this Administrative Salary Study is to comply with the request of The Pickerington Local School District Board of Education and Administration to objectively compare the district’s administrative salary and benefit levels with a selected group of comparable geographically proximate school districts. The district is interested in retaining and attracting the best talent available for the students attending the school district. The previous Salary Study the district commissioned was dated July 1999. It is the goal that this current study would provide updated information with which to make informed decisions concerning administrative compensation. The goal of a compensation system is to provide an organization the ability to attract and retain valued employees. However, compensation is just one of many factors that influence prospective and current employees. Climate, culture, workload, and location are also key factors in an individual’s decision matrix for choosing a place of employment. Based on our review of the voluminous data collected in this study it appears that the Pickerington Local School district compensation system for administrators is at or very near the bottom in the comparison group of districts selected for peer review in this study. This can be observed by looking at Table 6-1 on page 57 in the back of this report. This table sums up the outcome of the salary and fringe benefit numbers analyzed in the study. In addition, Table 3-1 on page 45 shows that the annual employee cost for district health insurance for administrators ranks the highest in the group for a single plan and second highest for a family plan. This coupled with the lower compensation noted in Table 6-1 on page 57 would suggest the district is not as competitive compared with similar districts who are competing for the same leadership talent. Another concern for the district in promoting building leaders from the internal pool of teachers is the daily rate gap noted in Table 5-1 on page 56. The daily rate for a starting position for principals and assistants ranges from 83% to 92% of the daily rate for a teacher with a Masters Degree on Step 10. While total compensation due to additional work days in administrative contracts and retirement pick-up, results in higher total compensation on an annual basis; this could with time become a problem if the gap continues to grow. The District Administration will need to study this information and attempt to determine the long term impact on the district’s ability to promote, attract and retain top administrative talent. Generally speaking the district’s relative rank in compensation may not contribute to assisting in attracting the top leadership talent, and if the district is successful in doing so, other districts in the geographic area may learn to target the district as a good source to recruit talent from because they have more purchasing power. Long term, if this occurs, that could hurt the district’s ability to continue to be an “Excellent” or “A” rated district if high quality administrative talent is not attracted and/or retained. For instance if building principals and assistants are not attracted to the district this could likely have negative consequences for the districts academic achievement. As pointed out in Successful Schools: From Research to Action Plans (Daggett, 2005), “…creating a culture that embraces the belief that all students need a rigorous and relevant curriculum and all children can learn”…, is one of the most important criteria to successful education in a school building. Building principals are a center piece in establishing that culture in a school. Consequently it must be true that districts seeking the highest academic achievement must also pursue highly talented building administrators. In conclusion, the administration has to decide what value they place on their ability to attract and retain administrative talent and establish a plan that accomplishes this goal and is financially sustainable. In the meantime administration should be vigilant for signs that the district is not attracting the talent they desire and that current leaders begin to leave for other districts. These may be warning signs that the salary and benefit structure is beginning to have a negative consequence for the district.
  • 5. 4 | P a g e Salary Study Scope and Methodology Field Work The Board of Education and Administration, with the help of K-12 Business Consulting, selected six (6) nearby comparable school districts “Peer Districts”. The Peer Districts are known to compete for the same administrative talent pool as the Pickerington Local Schools. The peer group district demographic data is discussed on page 7 of this report. The initial field work and data requests began November 5, 2013, with follow-up emails December 4, 2013, January 13, 2014, January 22, 2014, January 30, 2014, and February 9 & 11, 2014. In addition, several follow-up phone calls and discussions were made to seek clarification and reminders for the data. The field work and data collection was concluded on February 25, 2014. We believe the data collected through February 28, 2014 is substantially correct and complete. Only two (2) peer group districts, New Albany Plain Local and Olentangy Local School District, completed the entire survey information as requested. The rest of the peer group districts returned other recent salary survey data along with copies of administrative guidelines and/or internal documents supporting administrative benefits and salary schedules. This information has been analyzed in order to complete the information in the survey data base. Scope and Data Requested The scope pf the Salary Study was to identify and collect information on all forms of compensation and fringe benefits offered to peer group administrators compared to Pickerington Local Schools. The primary method of collecting the data required was by email survey sent to the peer group district treasurer’s and in some cases human resource directors to obtain the data needed. The survey was created to collect specific data so all levels of compensation and benefits could be identified and evaluated. Data requested: a) Completion of the survey sheet with fields titled below for: 1. Position Title 2. Contract Days 3. Salary High 4. Salary Low 5. Annuity % Paid by District 6. Employer Paid STRS/SERS % 7. Employee % of Medicare Paid 8. Maximum % of Base Wage for Performance Bonus 9. Number of Vacation Days 10. Number of Holidays 11. Number of Personal Days 12. Annual Tuition Reimbursement 13. % Board Paid Single Insurance 14. % Board Paid Family Insurance 15. HSA/HRA Paid Amount 16. Annual Professional Development Maximum 17. Annual Car Allowance 18. Annual Cell Phone Amount 19. Number of Days Vacation Buy Back Annually 20. Maximum Days of Sick Leave Severance Paid
  • 6. 5 | P a g e b) A blank copy of administrative contract form(s) used c) Copy of current organization chart d) All staff EMIS report “All_r_staff_2014K” e) All administrative job descriptions Establishing Position Codes and Similar Positions Once the data was collected from peer districts the most tedious and difficult part of the study was to identify like positions between districts. There are 362 administrators employed in total by the seven (7) districts in this study. Certain positions were easy to identify as exactly comparable such as Superintendent, Treasurer, High School, Middle School and Elementary School Principals. When developing like positions for central office administrators however, this became very difficult as there are a number of different organization configurations and atypical job titles used by the comparison districts. Another layer of difficulty was that most district Organization Charts are dated. Some are four (4) years old and many of the job descriptions reported do not appear on the organization chart or jobs appearing on the organization charts have no job descriptions reported. When this occurred we relied on the title of the jobs reported on any salary study supplied or the administrative salary schedule. We evaluated position titles and organization structures and did the best job possible to identify comparable positions in this study. To determine precise comparisons of all central office jobs between a number of districts is likely not possible as they may never exactly line up job duties to job duties district to district. To get a higher level of accuracy would require onsite interviews with one or more human resource staff at each district which would be a substantial cost due to time spent that would likely result in a negative cost benefit relationship. As the reader looks at certain comparisons in this study there may appear to be an outlier in the group. We believe in some cases it appears that individual pay for a position may be related to the unique skill and ability level of the specific person in the job. This can result in a position’s pay appearing as an outlier in a group but the overall position would be close in nature to the others being compared with in the chart or table. Below are position codes we established and assigned to those reported by the peer group districts that closely align with the Pickerington Local School district’s job titles and positions as this is the focus of this study: Position Code Position Title 1 Superintendent 2 Treasurer 3 Deputy/Assistant Superintendent 4 Business Manager/Director of Business 5 Assistant Business Director 6 Exec.

  • 8. 7 | P a g e Report Structure The report is structured into four sections, Section One: Peer Group Demographic Data; Section Two: Compensation Comparisons; Section Three: Health Insurance Costs; Section Four: Tables of Salary and Benefit Data Gathered, and; Section Five: Analysis of School Building Administrator Daily Rate Compared to Teacher Daily Rate. A brief discussion of the data is offered at the beginning of each section. Section One: Peer Group Student/Staff/Demographic Data Table 1-1 on page 8 illustrates the six (6) peer group districts selected, student average daily membership (ADM), staff full time equivalents (FTE), and other key data that gives insight into the size and economic comparability of the districts. The reader of this report can draw some general conclusions about administrative pay and workload by reviewing the data presented in the Table. The ADM/Staff Ratio can give insight into the relative work load of FTE employees of each district. The districts ratio of 9.75 (including contracted transportation staff of 96 for comparison purposes) is 7.1% higher than the next highest district which is Olentangy. The district outsources transportation and for comparison purposes these staff positions were added into the district staff FTE so apples-to-apples comparison could be made. The 9.75 ratio indicates on a macro level a higher efficiency of staff utilization in the district which also leads to lower costs relative to number of students as noted in Table 1-1. This means district staff has a marginally higher workload. The district operating budget of $97.4 million is the second lowest proportionate to size of the comparison group. The average administrator income is a measure of base wages and does not reflect other potential employee compensation such as annuities, retirement and Medicare pick-up. The Gahanna district placed all such benefit costs in their base wages as can be seen in the comparison which is not the norm in this comparison group. In this comparison the Gahanna school district appears to be an outlier as their wage number is more “fully loaded” than the other districts. The district average administrator cost for FY12 of $79,605 is the lowest in the comparison group for base wages. By comparing the average administrator salary to the average teacher salary we can see the administrative pay gap between the average teachers wage and the average administrative wages. Since many administrators come from the teaching ranks many districts intentionally maintain a gap between teacher and administrator pay to encourage a career path for promising administrators who could be groomed inside the district to assume leadership positions. This can have positive implication for the district as it does for private sector businesses as noted in leadership work such as in the book “Good to Great “(Collins, 2001). It was well documented in the book that top leadership in eleven of the twelve companies studied came from within each of the successful companies. The pay gap of 1.25 in Table 1-1 indicates that a 26% increase on average could be obtained if a staff member accepted a position in administration. However, this can be misleading since a typical teacher work year is 184 days and a typical administrator is roughly 228 work days, which is 24% more in terms of days worked. Therefore extra compensation comes with commensurate added days of work. If the gap is not wide enough future internal leaders may not be enticed to accept administrative positions. See Table 5-1 on page 56 for a more in-depth look at this gap. In summary, Table 1-1 indicates from this macro data that the districts staff has a heavier work load on average and the average administrator pay is the lowest in the comparison group according to the data sources referenced in the table for FY12, which was the most current data available at the time this study commenced.

  • 10. 9 | P a g e Section Two: Compensation Comparisons In this section of the report we will show two comparison charts of the positions in each district. The first chart will reflect the base salary at the low, medium and high range as reported by the district or extracted from the district salary schedule, and the second chart will show the position at the high end of the base compensation range with additional compensation or compensation equivalents added in. All charts will follow an alphabetical listing of the district. If a district does not show up in the comparison graph it was determined that they did not have an equivalent position in that district. If a chart had less than three (3) comparison districts and there was no comparison for Pickerington Local Schools, the chart was left out. If a chart had only Pickerington Local School data (for instance Junior High Principal and Assistant Principals) those charts were omitted as well. All wage and benefit data are shown in the Tables in Section Four of the report for additional information. Base Wage Charts In the base wage chart (top chart on the page) if only one marker is noted “ “this means there is not a low or high base wage amount there is only this amount. This typically means there is not a salary schedule and that this is an individually negotiated wage. Each district has to some extent set it’s own practice of establishing administrative wages. If the chart has a marker shaped in this manner “ “it indicates a wage range for the position low to high. A table has been added in each graph so the actual numbers are easy to see in addition to the visual reference for the reader. Total Compensation Charts The total compensation chart (bottom stacked bar chart on each page) shows the base wage at the high level and computes cash equivalent benefits that were reported to us by the district or was interpreted from data supplied when a survey was not completed by the peer district. Items considered in the total compensation charts are noted below: 1. Base wages at the high level ( was used because most positions reported were at the top or high end) 2. STRS/SERS retirement paid on behalf of the administrator 3. Administrators share of Medicare paid on their behalf 4. Annual annuity amount paid 5. Annual performance bonus 6. Annual tuition paid 7. Amount paid into Health Savings Account 8. Annual professional development cost if different than tuition paid 9. Annual car allowance 10. Annual travel stipend if stated 11. Annual cell phone payment or reimbursement Total Compensation and Deferred Contract Values This information is contained in Section Four of the report as data tables which are the best method to show the reader an evaluation of this data. The tables there will value vacation buy-back and severance pay which is considered a deferred benefit. Please see Section Four beginning on page 46 for this more detailed information.
  • 11. 10 | P a g e Superintendent The superintendent position is the top administrative position in the school district as outlined in Ohio Revised Section 3319.01.

  • 13. 12 | P a g e Deputy/Assistant Superintendent These positions included job titles such as Assistant Superintendents; Deputy Superintendents; Executive Director of Operations and Human Resources, and; Chief Operations and Strategic Development.

  • 46. 45 | P a g e Section Three: Health Insurance Costs Table 3-1 shows the current total annual premium cost, along with the single and family employee share percentage and the annual dollar amounts associated with each plan type. The plans shown are for the most commonly selected plan by employees in the district. There are many variables that make up a group health insurance plan premium or funding factors (for self-insured plans) which could entail an extensive analysis of plan design and coverage’s which is beyond the scope of this study. A general metric that can help determine the value of the health care plan being paid for by both the district and employee is the In-Network Out-Of-Pocket (OOP) amounts for each plan type. The OOP maximums are shown to help the reader determine the richness of the plan for members. Plans with no or a lower maximum OOP will generally result in less expense coming from employees when accessing the health benefits. If all plan design elements of a health care plan were the same, the health care plan would generally be worth more for the employee if it had lower OOP maximums and lower annual employee contributions. Generally speaking Gahanna and Westerville’s employee cost plus no ($-0- ) OOP would appear to be the most attractive combination of the districts compared. Employees costs in Gahanna are $591/$3,034 and in Westerville $319/$3,340. They have the lowest combined employee and OOP costs making these plans potentially less expense for employees and more valuable.. The employee cost plus OOP maximums offered Pickerington administrators and employees are $2,232/$5,060. This places the plan at the rank of the 3rd highest combined employee cost and OOP maximum plan behind Worthington (highest) and Olentangy (2nd ) highest. This assumes an employee uses the health care plan and hits the OOP maximum which is a worst case scenario. The ranking would change somewhat in a best case scenario if an employee assumes they would never use the health care benefits then Westerville would offer the least expensive single plan, while New Albany would offer the least expensive family plan to their employees. This illustrates the difficulty in determining the value of health care to an employee as it is often unknown how often or when the health care benefit may be used. In that case another way to evaluate a plan would be based on the annual amount charged to employees without weighting potential value of the underlying health care benefit structure. In that case the district would rank highest in amount charged employees for single insurance and 2nd highest for family coverage. Table 3-1 Health Insurance Cost Comparison District 100% Sgle.Prem.

  • 47. 46 | P a g e Section Four: Tables of Salary and Benefit Data Gathered The tables in this section contain all of the salary and benefit data collected. The tables below contain all of the data used in the Charts shown in Section Two plus the tables show daily rate, the value of vacation buy-back and the value of sick leave severance which assumes the employee stays to retirement age and earns the maximum amount of severance allowed under each districts severance plan as reported. The “Contract Days Less Leaves” column also reflects holidays and personal leave removed. “Ret. Pick-up” refers to the district actually paying (picking-up) the employees portion of required retirement contributions to the State Teachers Retirement System (STRS) for certificated administrators, and the School Employees Retirement System (SERS) for non-certificated administrators. The employee share for SERS is 10% of wages. In all the peer group districts (except Gahanna) there is a pick-up on the pick-up so 10% of the 10% equals 11% total cost or benefit to the employee. For STRS the rate is increasing by 1% a year beginning July 1, 2013. The rate is 11% currently but will go up to 14% on July 1, 2016. An 11% pick-up on pick-up is equal to 12.21%. Hilliard, New Albany and Olentangy school districts will continue to pick-up the employee’s portion through the increase to 14% which will ultimately be a 15.96% benefit starting July 1, 2016. Westerville is only picking up this first year at 11% then will cap it at that for future years. Pickerington and Worthington have frozen the district pick-up at the 10% level for all administrators so 11% is the maximum cost for these districts going forward. The “Total Current & Deferred Value” is attempting to value the contract by including all compensation, paid pick-up costs, annuities, bonuses, and other cash compensation, and the value of annual vacation buy-back plus sick leave severance days (deferred to the date of retirement). It is important to reiterate that the “Total Current & Deferred Value” column is not an annual value of the employment contract unless that is the year the employee chooses to retire and earn the sick leave severance, which is also valued at the maximum days accumulated. This is shown for illustration purposes in attempting to dichotomize the value of each districts annual cash payments and the deferred value of vacation and severance pay policies for administrators. Deferred sick leave severance pay will be of greater value to an employee who has been with the district for a longer period of time and are perhaps in the last five (5) years of their career. The value of sick leave severance would have to be factored in when determining the total amount of compensation and contract worth if evaluating other employment opportunities for an employee at this point in their career.

  • 57. 56 | P a g e Section Five: Analysis of School Building Administrator Daily Rate Compared to Teacher Daily Rate Table 5-1 is shown to determine the difference in daily rate between the low salary ranges of a building administrator’s salary on a daily basis compared to a teacher’s daily rate. The rationale is that building administrators come from the ranks of teachers and the organization needs to make sure there are proper incentives to assume additional administrative responsibilities to incentivize talented educators to become building leaders. For sake of comparison the daily rate was selected at the Masters Step 10 position for each districts teacher salary schedule. This step was selected as an estimate of the time when administrators move from teaching to administration after attaining their administrative licensure and have classroom experience. Table 5-1 shows that the beginning level of pay for all of Pickerington’s principals is below the daily rate for a classroom teacher who has a MA-10. This can be somewhat overcome by pick-up of retirement costs and/or higher placement on the administrative schedule for a new assistant or building principal. This is a ratio that should be evaluated after each teacher negotiation to ensure a planned gap is maintained so a career ladder is apparent to young leadership talent in the teaching staff who may aspire to an administrative position within the district. Failure to monitor this will likely result in the districts internal talent leaving to pursue leadership opportunities in other nearby districts who are paying a more attractive compensation package.
