ASBO New York Partner Frontline (Forecast5) Presents Monthly Data & Analytics Tip
Wednesday, September 3, 2025
With a new school year, comes new visuals from Comparative Analytics. We recently released the ERS –District Position Control Analysis and ERS – Salary Ranges Per District Per Position visuals for New York districts. These visuals draw directly from NYS Employee Retirement System (ERS) earnings data to provide districts with actual salary benchmarks for operational roles like paraprofessionals, office staff, and buildings and grounds personnel. The new visuals allow school business officials to view minimum, maximum, and average salaries by district and position, enabling apples-to-apples comparisons across peer districts. Whether preparing for CSEA negotiations or evaluating internal equity, these tools offer clear, defensible data to support strategic decision-making.
In the current environment of staffing shortages and rising labor costs, being equipped with real salary insights—not just estimates—empowers districts to negotiate more confidently and competitively.
As seen in the example visualization, the 2024 data show how salary ranges have shifted from the previous year, offering valuable context for future planning. If you're heading into a negotiation cycle or updating salary schedules, now is the time to explore these new ERS visuals in Comparative Analytics.
