“The executive director's salary is reviewed by the governance committee which presents its recommendation to the entire board for discussion and approval. All employee salaries are reviewed in detail by the governance committee of the board of directors. Following its review, the governance committee recommends compensation amounts to the full board of directors in aggregate for staff salaries and specific amount for the executive director. The full board discusses, accepts and approves or amends and approves these recommended compensation amounts. The national school boards association's compensation study and other compensation surveys are used as a reference to set salaries for officers and the executive director.”
