How many positions are needed to meet quantified minimum standards?

Since spending in part reflects local decisions, rather than simply reimbursing spending, the model is intended to recognize reasonable costs based on what most school divisions spend, with some adjustments.

How are costs shared between the state and localities?

What is the cost of meeting the staffing requirements and associated costs?

Staffing

Share

Cost

Based on the number of students enrolled by school by grade.

.

Of the recognized costs, average state share is 55 percent, based on the Composite Index.

A key exception is the distribution of sales tax based only on school-aged population (NOT equalized through Composite Index).

13


Funded Salaries, and Other Costs, are Based on Prevailing Cost• Since the mid-1980s, the SOQ funding framework has relied on a Linear Weighted Average (LWA), with the division as the unit

of analysis, as the best measure of “expenditure levels around which most school divisions tend to cluster.”

Division LWA: $48,925 (elementary)$51,216 (secondary) Division

Average: $49,202

Statewide Average: $57,260

Each circle shows where oneschool division’s actual average teacher salary (FY 2018) falls on the distribution (regardless of the size of the school division).

SOQ Funding for all school divisions is then based on the Division LWA, not each school division’s actual salaries.

Teacher Salaries –So What is the Average?

37


MethodologyVDOE Linear Weighted

Prevailing Salary VDOE Simple

Statewide Average SalaryNational Education Association(NEA) Average Teacher Salary

Calculation’sUse SOQ Funding Model Annual school salary survey

required in the Appropriation Act.

Comparison across states found in JLARC’s Virginia Compared to the

Other States and VDOE annual school salary survey.

Considerations

Divisions’ elementary and secondary averages are linearly weighted to determine the prevailing average

salary used for funding in the Appropriation Act. Divisions are not

weighted for size.

Includes salaries of counselors, librarians, and instructional

technology.

Excludes salaries of counselors, librarians, and instructional technology, but includes

homebound and substitute teachers.

Average Salary Amount FY 2018 $48,2091 $57,253 $51,994

What is Virginia’s Average Teacher Salary? Depends on the Methodology Used to Calculate the Average . . .

Source: VDOE, 2018-2019 Teacher Salary Survey & VDOE Presentation to SFC, October 22, 2019.Note: 1 Estimated single blended prevailing average salary is calculated from weighting the 2016-2018 Appropriation Act's teacher salary amounts of $47,185 for elementary teachers and $49,744 for secondary teachers into one amount by the percentages of the student membership totals for K-7 and 8-12 (the weighted percentage is estimated about 60% / 40% respectively).


• In FY 2018, VDOE’s calculated simple statewide average teaching salary was $57,253.

• If the statewide average salary was calculated without Planning District 8 divisions and the surrounding divisions receiving the Cost of Competing Adjustment (COCA), the statewide average teaching salary would be $50,800 in FY 2018.

– COCA recognizes the higher cost that school divisions incur because they compete for staff in the more competitive Northern Virginia labor market.

– COCA is provided to the divisions in Planning District Eight (Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Fairfax City, Falls Church, Loudon, Manassas, Manassas Park, and Prince William) while the surrounding divisions of Stafford, Fauquier, Spotsylvania, Clarke, Warren, Frederick, Culpeper, Fredericksburg and Winchester receive a phased-in COCA rate.

• 119 divisions have an average salary below the VDOE statewide average of $57,253.

• 56 divisions have an average salary below the state funded linear weighted prevailing salary of $48,209.1
