The committee sets the head's salary and any other compensation based on the nais and isas data from elementary schools of comparable size, similar region and other factors. The committee makes a recommendation to the board and the board votes on the compensation. The comparable salary data is documented in the employee personnel file. The head of school sets compensation of other employees using information from the same database.”
