“I know that it’s been instrumental in our efforts to be able to make sure that we are maintaining a competitive salary for our administrative team and other non-bargaining support staff as well. It is one of the single most important tools that I have when it comes to recommending salary increases.”

“I look at who’s around our size with a comparable free and reduced percentage, and who’s doing better. Because they’re a similar population, and if they’re getting better outcomes than we are, I want to know what they’re doing. Most districts are typically willing to tell their story, so we can learn from each other. There are things that are working in education and I like learning from other practitioners, and so I identify who I’m going to call when we’re stuck.”
