The 2014-2015 TIES Technology Salary Survey is intended to help districts plan for, recruit, retain and equitably compensate technology staff. There are four survey modules that school districts are asked to complete. These are: Technology Management, Technology Support, Technology Integration, and School Library Media Specialist.
The 2014-2015 TIES Technology Salary Survey - Technical Support is intended to gather data on positions such as Network Administrator, Lead PC/Mac Desktop Support/Device Management, Computer Technician/Repair/Help Desk, Technology Paraprofessional, Technician, and Technical Services Supervisor/System Administrator.
To have access to survey results, districts must fully complete all four survey modules, ensure the accuracy of the information they submit and guarantee that they will distribute the results only to school board members, superintendents, school human resources personnel, district technology directors and technology coordinators. TIES will create reports that include aggregate data and identification of the school district but not the identity of individual respondents.
Only one person from each school district should fill out the survey; this person will be notified when results are available. We recommend that the technology director or coordinator complete the survey, working with the human resources director to collect the necessary information.
The easiest way to complete the survey is to download a PDF copy from:
Using the copy, gather all the appropriate data and then enter the answers online.
