    It looks like this is only for Illinois, for national education news check out http://www.schoolteachernews.com

    I’m confused…the site says,

    “This salary data does not include the cost of employer-paid health insurance.”

    But the salaries for CCSD 46 teachers that are reported here DO include employer paid health insurance. What does that say about the sites credibility? How can these data be used effectively if they are described erroneously? How can a district that doesn’t report employer paid health insurance be compared properly to one that does?

    Isn’t that apples and oranges?

    Thanks Dale.

    Confused, please provide some examples so we can see what you are talking about. Secondly, the Chanpion posts the salaries as the district provides them to the ISBE. If the numbers are incorrect, then you probably want to speak with the district staff providing the data.

    Oh, no…the data provided by ISBE to the Champion is absolutly correct; it’s the Champion’s qualification that, “This salary data does not include the cost of employer-paid health insurance.” that is incorrect.

    I’m not certain that anyone could provide you someone’s pay stubs as proof, but here’s the facts; let Champion dispute it.

    In the Woodland Elementary District #50, salary data does not include employer paid health insurance premiums. FACT

    In CCSD #46, salary includes the cost of health insurance premiums. FACT

    I think it’s unreasonable to expect someone would send you their paystubs to prove it. Any other suggestion?

    The fact is we don’t need anyones pay stub. The sources are simple and FOIAable:

    1. Teachers contract from the districts you claim record salary differently with page references
    2. Salary data for several teachers from the district offices as reported to the ISBE
    3. Data from the ISBE for several teachers you claim are incorrect

    And finally, the same teachers data from The Champion News. See, no paystubs needed.

    Hmmm…

    I think I stated at least twice that the data from ISBE and posted on The Champion is correct. What is erroneous is the statement by the Champion, “This salary data does not include the cost of employer-paid health insurance.” It’s a shame neither you, or the Champion, will address it. Don’t you care if the sources you site are accurate?

    Confused said, “Don’t you care if the sources you site are accurate?” and “the data from ISBE and posted on The Champion is correct”. You claim that it is the description that is incorrect and not the data. So, again I ask you for the following:

    1. Teachers contract from the districts you claim record salary differently with page references
    2. Salary data for several teachers from the district offices as reported to the ISBE
    3. Data from the ISBE for several teachers you claim are incorrect
