Crete Public Schools (2019)
Crete Public Schools and the bargaining unit for teachers, Crete Education Association, were unaware of the inequitable design of its teacher salary schedule.
What did I deliver: Conducted original, independent research that validated inequitable compensation practices (click here), and informed CEA and CPS that without regard to the number of years worked or the amount of education acquired, CPS provides a flat increase of $1,609.95 to all teachers. At CPS, the percent of increase paid to teachers is consistently progressively less as they acquire more education, and likewise, the percent of increase is consistently progressively less as teachers work additional years (step increase). Or, said differently, CPS wants teachers to constantly improve their skill sets, to improve the educational performance of students, but pay teachers consistently progressively less. This negative interpretation of compensation practices is not in the best interest of Crete Public Schools.
