About the database
* — This figure, as well as the median salaries and experience levels listed, exclude all employees whose total full-time equivalency adds up to less than one. Those employees are not listed anywhere in this database.
Salary information was provided by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. To make salaries more comparable, the figures listed are based off of regular term salaries, and do not include pay earned for additional duties. If a district or school did not send payroll data or sent incomplete payroll data to the state, some or all of its employees may not be included.
The data that is available contains the annual pay rates for educators, according what was provided to DESE. In a majority of instances, the rates listed in this database will be the same as what an employee was actually paid. However, if an employee did not end up working for the entire school year – for example, if someone started working in a position during the middle of the year or left the position before the year ended – the pay figures listed in the data will still be the annual rates, and will not reflect what that individual was actually paid. Also, an educator could receive additional pay for duties added during the year or could receive a pay raise after say, completing a master’s degree. If a district did not report such changes to DESE, the changes would not be reflected in this database.
This database makes note of when an employee holds multiple positions within a district or school. In a small number of instances, an employee who is listed as having multiple jobs may have changed positions during the course of the year, but was listed twice in the database originally provided by DESE despite currently holding only one position. Some employees who hold multiple positions in multiple schools may not be listed in a particular school's results. To find those employees, either search by name or select the "Multiple positions" category on a district's page.
Pay rates for individual employees are broken down by regular salary, extended contract salary and extra duty salary. Total pay includes all three of those added together. Extended contract salary is pay received by non-administrators for working more than a nine-month term. Extra duty salary reflects pay for additional activities – such as coaching an athletic team – that are not included in an educator’s regular duties. This database isn't able to account for differences in benefits received by employees.
It is possible that data entry errors occurred when districts reported salaries to DESE. If you have any questions about the data or see an incorrect salary listed, please email jodea@post-dispatch.com
