Salary and Benefits Study

IPA releases an annual Salary, Benefit, Career Planning & Job Satisfaction Study. The study plays a critical role in informing school leaders across Illinois of salary and benefit data and remains the only statewide survey of its kind. The information contained in the annual reports would not be possible without the participation and dedication of school leaders across Illinois. Thank you to everyone that responded to the survey and who made this publication possible.

This year’s study was conducted by IPA in partnership with Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates (HYA), a national educational executive search, consulting, and leadership firm.

Returning this year is an interactive salary model, which allows members to create more personalized salary benchmarks. The salary model allows school leaders to generate an average salary based on unique combinations of district and school characteristics, geography, and administrative experience. The salary model was developed using machine learning to build and validate a predictive model that takes as inputs a variety of variables and predicts the average salary for the combination of variables and values provided.
