Salary data reported on the End-of-Year Employee Compensation Reports
differ from the salaries reported through the North Dakota Administrative
and Personnel Data in Public Schools (AIP), and NEA submissions due to
three primary factors:
- Timing – Fall data collection on the MIS03 is an estimate of base
salary for the current school year. NEA estimates and the DPI
Instruction Salary Book figures are based on this data collection.
Employee compensation
data is collected via the Employee Compensation Report after the
completion of the school year, and includes detailed, actual payments to employees.
- Data Repository and Management – The MIS03 forms that are
maintained on the DPI Mainframe are dynamic, i.e., maintained manually
with additions,
corrections, and deletions throughout the school year. Therefore,
summary figures derived from this data source at different points in
time, may
or may not be identical.
- Position Descriptions – The NEA and the State of North Dakota
do not define “Teachers” and “Administrators” by
the same position codes. In order to conform with NEA’s federal
reporting requirements, salary data are sorted differently for this
submission, and this process usually produces results that differ from
other state
estimates.
