This survey provides current data for school directors and administrators to examine the policies of compensation for professional personnel in the suburban Philadelphia area. The report contains three sections: a) salaries of teachers, b) salaries of instructional specialists, and c) salaries of administrative and supervisory personnel. Mean salaries of classroom teachers in the seven reporting districts of Philadelphia range from $12,345 to $8,625 depending upon both the district and qualifications of the teacher. Approximately 43 percent of teachers hold advanced degrees, and the median salary of the sample is $10,720. Salaries of administrators and directors range from $39,000 to $11,000 depending on the position. The problems and confusions of the wage-price freeze have created tensions between school districts and their employees. Further study of the situation will hopefully lead to a sound compensation program that will effectively attract and maintain an adequate and qualified staff of competent personnel.
