IF DISCREPANCIES ARE FOUND, A PROCESS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITHIN THE YEARLY JOB PERFORANCE AND PAY INCREASE CYCLE IS USED. THE DISTRICT 20 SCALE IS USED AS A SEPARATE, BUT VALIDLY ANALOGOUS SCALE OF COMPETITIVE PAY BECAUSE THEY STUDY THE TOPIC OF "CONTEMPORANEOUS SUBSTANTIATION" EVERY YEAR SO THEY CAN ATTRACT AND RETAIN THE BEST PEOPLE IN THE STATE. WE CONSIDER THE CEO TO BE A LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY SOMEWHERE BETWEEN A MIDDLE SCHOOL ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AND PRINCIPAL. THE EXACT PAY IS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF COMPARABLE COMPENSATION RATES AND LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL. |
