| 1 Collective bargaining agreements are legally-binding agreements. |
| 2 Meet-and-confer discussions are for the purpose of reaching non-legally-binding agreements. |
| 3 This category includes both no agreements and other agreements that do not meet the precise legal definitions of collective bargaining and meet-and-confer agreements. |
| NOTE: Districts with only one school, including single traditional public schools and public charter schools that operate independently of a regular school district, were not asked about principal salary schedules, specific agreements with principal unions, principal hiring, number of contract days for principals, principal tenure, or training programs for aspiring school administrators. Estimates in this table are based on 68 percent of all districts. The 2007–08 SASS sampled all districts in Florida, Hawaii, and Maryland. As a result of sampling,variance estimates for these states are always equal to zero and noted with a dagger (†). Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. |
