This includes the specific legal claim used to exempt each requested field.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My assessment is that I have been dismally unsuccessful in receiving this information in response to my Public Information Act requests.\u00a0 I recognize that your staff and some of you may disagree with that assessment.<\/p>\n<p>Now for a few key points on the rationales used to deny my requests:<\/p>\n<p>On the raw salary data: After many months of my seeking the salary information, with some later help from Maryland\u2019s Public Information Act Ombudsman, MSDE claimed it was exempt under the licensing exemption, as many LEA employees are licensed.\u00a0 This was a creative but nevertheless pathetic legal rationalization for withholding salary data.\u00a0 In the end, even MSDE\u2019s staff sought to soften the claim to make it more credible.<\/p>\n<p>On the salary averages:\u00a0 MSDE claimed it\u2019s not its responsibility to generate the average salary statistics and accompanying methodologies.\u00a0 It delegates that task to the local LEAs and chooses to trust whatever numbers the individual LEAs come up with.\u00a0 Moreover, because the different LEAs use different methodologies, the claim has been made that it would be too cumbersome for MSDE to post them.\u00a0 I beg to disagree.\u00a0 If MSDE publishes those numbers on its website and thereby gives them its imprimatur, it should clearly disclose the methodologies, including the exact mathematical format used to add the various fields and records, as well as the precise fields and field definitions used as the variables within the equations.<\/p>\n<p>On the field by field legal exemptions from public disclosure: MSDE\u2019s strategy appears to be to provide as little information as possible about the legal reasoning behind each field\u2019s claimed exemption.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, K12 public school compensation constitutes about 80% of local LEA operating budgets.\u00a0 The information that the press, public, and public officials have about this 80% of the budget is shockingly and disgracefully poor.\u00a0 Much of the required information for the public and public officials to do their own compensation analyses is nominally but not meaningfully public.\u00a0 And the published statistics generated from the closely held individual level data are incomplete at best and highly misleading at worst.\u00a0 The public deserves to understand how its government agents are paid with its tax dollars.\u00a0 To a remarkable degree, MSDE\u2019s policies have made that difficult if not impossible to do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">#<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Public Information Act Requests to MSDE for Compensation Statistics &amp; Raw Data<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Correspondence\u00a0after mediation began with Maryland\u2019s Public Information Act Ombudsmen in May 2017.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Follow-up testimony to the Maryland State Department of Education concerning its reporting of K12 public school salary data, statistics, and statistical methodologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[19,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-maryland-state-department-of-education-government-unit","category-testimony"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>2nd Round of Testimony before the Maryland State Department of Education\u2019s Board of Education - Maryland&#039;s K12 Public School Compensation Transparency<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"2nd Round of Testimony before the Maryland State Department of Education\u2019s Board of Education - Maryland&#039;s K12 Public School Compensation Transparency\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Follow-up testimony to the Maryland State Department of Education concerning its reporting of K12 public school salary data, statistics, and statistical methodologies.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"http:\/\/k12transparency.isolon.org\/?p=436\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Maryland&#039;s K12 Public School Compensation Transparency\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-08-22T19:50:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-09-09T19:53:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/k12transparency.isolon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MSDE-Logo-300x141.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"J.H.
