I just tweaked the posting on “How Does the District’s Contract Compare?”. Turns out that, while some districts have columns in their salary schedules for teachers without credentials, San Carlos doesn’t. To keep things clean, I re-did my analysis and excluded those columns from the comparison.
The net effect of doing this was to shave a couple of percentage points off the bar graphs. For example, the updated statewide comparison shows that using San Carlos’ metrics would make things better for teachers in other districts in 79%, instead of 80%, of the typical salary schedule.
This doesn’t change any of the points I made, but I wanted readers to know about the change.
I also added one new chart to clarify an issue some may find confusing.
