Abstract
The EPS formula adjusts personnel costs for differences in staff and school profiles using a salary matrix. A salary matrix is a table that provides a measure of the salary differences for each category of staff based on experience and/or education, job classification or school size. The matrix is used to adjust a district’s EPS allocation according to the mix of education and experience levels or other cost factors such as school size or job classification of its staff. Salary matrices are developed for school-based essential staff positions including teachers, educational and media technicians, counselors and librarians, Administrative assistants, nurses, and school administrators. The teacher salary matrix produces a larger allocation for districts employing a greater number of teachers with higher levels of education and experience and the administrator matrix produces a larger allocation for districts employing more principals managing larger schools. A description of the calculations using the salary matrix is included in Appendix A.
