District 205 Board Approves Posting of All Staff Salaries and Benefits for 2012-13

As required by the Illinois General Assembly, the base salaries and benefits paid to all Elmhurst Unit District 205 employees must be reported and posted online each year.

The School Board on Tuesday voted to approve posting of the compensation report for the 2012-13 school year.

The report includes the following categories for each staff member:

• Name
• Position
• Base salary
• Vacation days
• Sick days
• Bonuses
• Annuities
• Retirement enhancements
• Other benefits

In all cases, bonuses, annuities and retirement enhancements categories are listed as zero. Nearly all staff members receive "other benefits," ranging from about $37 to more than $39,000. To read the full report, click here.

Also required by the state is the posting of salary compensation for every employee who holds an administrative certificate (Type 75). To read the  2012-13 Type 75 Salary Chart, click here.

School Board President Jim Collins pointed out that among 388 unit school districts in the state, District 205 administrative costs per student are ranked among the lowest, at 378.

"In other words, there are only (10) unit districts that invest less than District 205 does in administration and management," he said.
