This annual survey is a collection of data on salaries and wages of 23 professional and 10 support positions selected to represent the full range of public-school employees. This current volume presents data collected in fall 2002 from 620 school systems employing some 1.4 million people (full-time employees only) for the 2002-03 school year. Also included is year-to-year, 5-year, and 10-year information on trends in public-school salaries and wages, with comparison with the Consumer Price Index for each of these periods. The volume is organized into three sections. Section I presents changes in salaries scheduled from 1992-93 to 2002-03. Section II presents salaries and wages paid professional and support staff in 2002-03. Section III presents scheduled salaries for professional personnel for 2002-03. Each section includes explanatory notes, highlights of noteworthy findings, and a wide array of tables intended to be used as references for school districts needing information about a specific position category. Appended are a worksheet for compiling local school system composite-indicator-of-change data and comparative composite-indicator-of-change data, summary tables, summary figures, an explanation on how the data were collected, and a glossary.
