3 INTRODUCTION Discussions about teacher salaries and benefits frequently focus on comparisons with the salary schedules and benefits of similar school districts. For many years the Missouri State Teachers Association, in order to facilitate such comparisons, has collected and analyzed information about salary schedules and benefits. The primary sources of information for this report are the superintendents of Missouri s public schools, and they have been very cooperative in this effort. The Missouri State Teachers Association would like to publicly express its appreciation. This report provides both summary information on the salary schedule practices of Missouri school districts and specific information on the basic features of a number of districts salary schedules. The format of the report continues to evolve as new information and reader suggestions are incorporated. If you have suggestions for other improvements to this report, please contact the MSTA Salary and Research Department below. Melissa Lorts, Finance Director Mail: MSTA Research, 223 E.

4 MISSOURI STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION Dear Missouri educator, Information is empowering. For decades, MSTA has empowered teachers with the most comprehensive information about teacher salaries in Missouri. Each year the MSTA research and salary team puts together a report detailing the salaries of every district in the state. If you ever wondered how your district compares, this is the best way to learn. This year, we ve made comparing districts even easier with the ability to search our report with a new interactive tool that allows you to compare salaries and benefits by region, county, district and size of district. You can find the tool on our website at It s probably no surprise that once again, our annual research shows that although Missouri teachers are making small gains in salaries, they are still making less than teachers nationwide. For first-year teachers, there is a $19,163 difference between the highest paying district and the districts paying the state mandated minimum starting salary. Of note, if the state minimum salary had kept pace with the cost of living increases, that same teacher would make $30, instead of $25,000. While the salary growth information is not what we would like to see, MSTA members are working to overcome this trend. At our annual convention in November, MSTA delegates again adopted resolutions prioritizing educator salaries. As an association, MSTA continues to support an increase to the minimum statewide salary schedule. Further, MSTA also supports an annual equitable salary increment for additional years of service and additional education experience and recognition of teachers actual years of experience for salary schedule advancement and placement. We are working closely with the legislature to move the salaries of professional educators to better reflect compensation for the time, energy and dedication that goes into teaching Missouri s students. Information is empowering! I encourage you to take a look at the comparison tool and make use of our Salary Negotiations and Finance 101 Workshops online and our in-person workshops. Get informed. Get involved. Get empowered. Sincerely, Bruce Moe Executive Director > MSTA HEADQUARTERS P.O. Box 458 > 407 S. Sixth St. Columbia, MO LOCAL:

5 Key Findings Response rates 518 out of 518 Missouri school districts responded to the mailed salary questionnaires (which included a request for a copy of the actual district salary schedule). Additionally, many respondents sent their non-certificated, support staff employees pay plans or stated that they have no board-approved pay plan. The Missouri State Teachers Association is deeply appreciative of the high degree of cooperation of school administrators in collecting this information. Salary Schedules and Steps Under most salary schedules, a teacher advances from the minimum salary/placement based on years of teaching experience and satisfactory teaching. These additions, or steps, may be either uniform or varied. More steps are usually provided for more highly educated teachers until reaching the maximum salary for preparation level. Some schedules provide additional steps after extended periods of service beyond the regular salary schedule maximums. Due to space limitations and reporting differences, detailed information on longevity steps is not included. Contact the district in question or MSTA for more information. Pages 13 through 29 give information on the district minimums and maximums for the bachelor s and master s degrees and the number of steps at each level. These tables also show the number of schedule steps and their maximums. The plus column shows the extended maximums reached after completing a certain number of graduate hours and years. The schedule max shows an additional step for doctorate or specialist degrees. These additional steps increase values of salary schedule maximums reported. The salary schedule maximum is the highest possible salary authorized by a salary schedule. The salary compression ratio divides the schedule maximum value by the bachelor s degree minimum value. For example, a salary compression ratio of 1.58 indicates that the highest salary possible on a that schedule is 58 percent larger than, or 1.58 times larger than, the lowest salary for a beginning teacher. Most CTA salary/welfare committees seek compression ratios in the 2.0 to 2.5 range. Often districts grant some credit to an experienced teacher for teaching in other school systems, and in the past several years, many districts have made some effort to improve their policies in this regard. Most CTA salary committees prefer that districts grant credit for all years of experience for placement on salary schedules or, if limited years are accepted, doublecrediting teachers for years of experience until placement on the salary schedule for experience is at least equal to years of credit in the Public School Retirement System. The most common practice is to grant full credit for nine or more years teaching in other districts. [Eighty-one percent of districts, or 418, accept nine or more years of teaching experience from outside the district.] Some districts either did not respond to the question or indicated that their policy is to negotiate this at the time of employment. These districts are represented in the other category. A summary of all responses is presented in Table 1. Table 1 Years of outside experience allowed Years of Experience Number of Districts Other 12 Total 518 Finally, 95 districts, or 18 percent, index administrators salaries off their teachers salary schedule Salary Schedule & Benefits Report 5

6 Overall Salary Schedule Characteristics All districts must pay teachers with a bachelor s degree a minimum of $25,000 and teachers with a master s degree and 10 years experience a minimum of $33, Table 2 on page 7 shows increases in both minimums and maximums. Average Growth in Salary Schedule Level Bachelor Min. 1.46% 1.45% 1.16% 1.27% 1.14% Bachelor Max. 1.07% 1.57% 0.42% 1.30% 1.32% Master Min. 1.43% 1.38% 1.11% 1.31% 1.15% Master Max. 1.44% 1.55% 1.09% 1.88% 1.34% Salaries and student enrollment A school district s ability to pay staff depends on its pupilteacher ratio and its ability to concentrate spending on the classroom. Over the past decade, salaries might also have depended on local property taxes, as they drove both state and local funding. Under the current formula, school districts will draw state revenue based on enrollment of students. HB1689 (2014) removed the pro-ration factor for hold harmless districts. The bill requires DESE to adjust the State Adequacy Target to accommodate the appropriation level if the amount funded is not sufficient to fully fund the formula for all districts. Payments to hold harmless districts must not be modified from full funding. With the remaining funds the State Adequacy Target is recalculated and distributed to formula districts. A district s student enrollment is a powerful determinant of a district s ability to pay its teachers. Generally, districts serving fewer than about 700 students must employ more teachers to meet MSIP standards and have lower pupil-teacher ratios, which reduces their ability to pay individual teachers. School districts with smaller enrollments tend to be located in rural areas of the state. Districts with over 4,000 students tend to have larger increases across salary schedules, while districts with fewer than 4,000 students have much lower salary schedule values, particularly with more education and on the schedule maximums. To better describe this phenomenon, data for districts serving fewer than 1,000 students were divided into three enrollment ranges and summarized in Table 4 on page 10. The national and state teacher averages had minimal growth this year. 6 Missouri State Teachers Association

7 SALARY SCHEDULE REPORTING DEFINITIONS Bachelor s Degree Minimum (Min) is the salary assigned to teachers beginning their first year of teaching with no years of experience and who hold a bachelor s degree with no additional college credit hours. Bachelor s Degree Maximum (Max) is the highest salary that may be assigned to teachers who hold a bachelor s degree and have no additional college credit hours. Bachelor s Degree Plus is the highest possible salary that may be assigned to teachers holding a bachelor s degree and additional college credit hours. Master s Degree Minimum (Min) is the salary assigned to teachers beginning their first year of teaching with no years of previous teaching experience who hold a master s degree with no additional college credit hours. Master s Degree and 10 Years Experience is the salary assigned to teachers beginning their 11 th year of public school teaching with 10 years of teaching experience who hold a master s degree with no additional college credit hours. Master s Degree Maximum (Max) is the highest salary that may be assigned to teachers holding a master s degree and no additional college credit hours. Salary Schedule Maximum (Max) is the highest salary that may be assigned to teachers using the salary schedule. This would include teachers holding a specialist or doctorate degree. Compression Ratio is the Salary Schedule Maximum divided by Bachelor s Degree Minimum. Steps is the number of salary increases granted for years of experience for a given level of education. Years Import is the maximum number of years of experience outside the district that may be used in determining a teacher s salary. Our survey begins with 0 years of experience for all salary schedules. Administrators Indexed (Admin. Tied) answers the question Are salaries of administrators determined by indexing from the teacher s salary schedule or average teacher s salary? The answer to this question is reported in the Admin. Tied column in the Fringe Benefits table. Rank places salary schedules in order compared to other districts. Districts with the same salaries are given the same ranking.
