All documents, files or data accessible on or through the Data Strategies & Analytics (“DSA”) website (this term includes, but is not limited to, this page, linked pages and subpages) of the Illinois State Board of Education (“ISBE”), its departments, boards, and offices are provided as a public convenience solely to facilitate public access to​ information.

These data used to create reports for educational entities on the DSA website have most likely been produced from data collected by DSA which were self-reported by each educational entity reported. Although the greatest care has been taken to ensure that DSA data are up to date and accurate, ISBE is providing these data AS IS. ISBE does not guarantee 100 % accuracy of these data; they may be outdated or have errors, omissions, typos and other inaccuracies. These data are what ISBE believes to be the best available data based on data submitted to ISBE by each educational entity reported. These data were most likely taken from a point-in-time data pull based on either state statute or federal mandated point-in-time reporting requirements. Reports that do not have a state statue or federally mandated posting date will be posted approximately the same time annually. These data may have changed since the last point-in-time report was produced and these data may be redacted where the n size was less than 10 observations.

Due to the dynamic nature of the Internet, resources that are free and publicly available one day may require a fee or restricted access the next, and the location of items may change as menus, homepages, and files are reorganized. ISBE does not undertake continuously to update DSA data posted on this website. ISBE and/or DSA may make improvements or changes in the data and information described herein at any time without notice. Users of the data assume all responsibility and risk for use of the DSA website. Users agree not to misuse, add to without permission, or misrepresent the data provided in any way.

("ISSRA"), the Student Online Personal Protection Act (105 ILCS 85/1 et seq.) (“SOPPA”), and the Personal Information Protection Act (815 ILCS 530/1 et seq.) (“PIPA)”, to protect the privacy of student education records and personal information of individuals. All direct identifiers have been removed from the micro-data contained in these data files; therefore, the public data files do not permit direct identification of any individuals.

View Reported Data

Disclaimer

The data can be searched by District Name. When records are returned for a district, the Region-County-District-Type (RCDT) code for the district will be included in each record. The data reflect information as it was reported by districts, and questions about data reported by a specific school district should be directed to that district. Find more information on current district contact information.​

Please note the following when using the reported data:

  1. Some personnel in a given position may be paid on an hourly basis while others may be paid on a yearly basis. Therefore, there are instances where beginning salaries are reported based on hourly wages and maximum salaries are reported based on annual earnings, and vice versa.
  2. Some part-time personnel do not receive the same fringe benefits as full-time personnel in the same position.
  3. Some personnel in the same position work fewer months than others; the salaries presented are the range for the position, regardless of the months employed.
  4. Several positions include more than one classification, e.g., secretaries I, II, III, etc., are all combined as secretaries. The salaries presented reflect the lowest and highest salaries for the overall position category.
  5. Salaries for a given position in one school district may not be comparable to another school district because the duties and responsibilities assigned to that position may not be identical.
  6. Some school districts have settled on salaries for certain positions but may still be negotiating the salaries for other positions.​
