2005-06 Statewide Average Salaries

Statewide average salaries and expenditure percentages for teachers and administrators in Elementary, High, and Unified school districts for the School Accountability Report Card.
   

The State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SSPI) is required by Education Code Section 41409(c) to provide annually to each school district, for use in the school accountability report card (SARC), the statewide salary averages for teachers and administrators and the statewide percentage of expenditures spent on personnel in the following categories:

  1. Beginning, midrange, and highest salary paid to teachers

  2. Salaries of school-site principals

  3. Salaries of district superintendents

  4. Percentage of expenditures allocated to salaries of teachers

  5. Percentage of expenditures allocated to salaries of administrative personnel

Existing law also requires the SSPI to group the statewide salary averages and percentage of expenditures by district type (elementary, high school, and unified) and by size based on regular annual average daily attendance.

Every school district, except for K-12 districts with a single school, must include in its SARC (Education Code Section 41409.3) the statewide averages and expenditure percentages provided by the SSPI along with its salaries and expenditure percentages for comparative purposes. Additional SARC information is available on the CDE Web site http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/.
