In 2010‐2011, the average compensation of Rockwood administrators ranked toward the bottom of St. Louis County school districts at 17th out of

  • 22. In 2011‐12 this ranking

dropped to 21st out of 22.

Some Rockwood School District administrators are leaving Rockwood to take lateral positions in other school districts.

Rockwood struggles to recruit experienced administrators from other school districts, as this often requires them to take a salary cut to consider employment in Rockwood.

HOW DO TEACHERS COMPARE?

In 2010‐2011, the average compensation of Rockwood teachers ranked 13th out of 22

  • St. Louis County school
  • districts. In 2011‐12 this

ranking dropped to 14th out of 22.

Though the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education does not collect similar data on support staff, the salary ranges for support staff positions would suggest that on average we are approximately 14th out of 22 in support staff salaries.

COMMITTEE PROCESS

Over a three month period the Administrator Pay Plan (APP) Committee analyzed four differing pay plan types which included:

  • Base salary with indices
  • Ranges (similar to our current system)
  • Step salary schedules (similar to our current teacher’s salary

schedule)

  • Negotiation
slide-11
SLIDE 11

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The APP Committee recommends the Board of Education consider a salary plan that is transparent, internally consistent, and externally competitive, adjusted annually to the St. Louis County marketplace. We suggest a base salary with indices plan based upon these six factors:

  • Responsibility – credit given for the position’s level of responsibility
  • Education Level – credit given for level of educational attainment (BA to

Ph.D.)

  • Experience – credit given years of relevant administrative experience – 1.5%

per year

  • Merit – credit for outstanding performance
  • The base salary would be 90% of the St. Louis County median administrator

salary, benchmarked annually. Would require a 2-3 year phase in period.

  • If above the formula, 2% guarantee until the pay plan catches up to the

administrator.

HUMAN RESOURCES RECOMMENDATION

  • We are seeking a commitment to bring teacher, support staff and

administrator salaries to the St. Louis County midpoint over the next two to three year period.

  • We suggest continual benchmarking to see that each employee group

reaches the St. Louis County midpoint in the same year, if possible. This will require some employee groups to receive greater than average raises to bring them closer in ranking to other Rockwood employee groups.

  • Though we have budget reserves, we are also deficit spending, and deficit

spending cannot be continued indefinitely without staff cuts or a funding increase.
