DESCRIPTION:
School districts across the country are facing challenges in attracting and retaining qualified staff, especially in high-demand positions. CESA 5 in Portage, Wisconsin, has developed a data-driven approach to compensation that helps districts create salary bands for these positions that are competitive and equitable.
In this session, participants will learn how CESA 5 uses publicly available data to:
Identify high-demand positions
Analyze salary trends
Create salary bands that are competitive and equitable
Participants will also have the opportunity to discuss their own compensation challenges and learn
from the experiences of other districts.
