ABSTRACT: The major goal of this report was to minimize
complaints due to discrepancies in the salary schedule for
male and female sponsors of extracurricular activities at
Caesar Rodney School District, Delaware. The four
objectives
were (1) to develop a salary schedule for teachers of
extracurricular activities, (2) to develop a guide for the
recruitment of sponsors and coaches, (3) to develop
criteria
to serve as a basis for the district's collective
bargaining
process, and (4) to provide evidence of affirmative action
on the part of the district. Questionnaires were
distributed
to students and teachers to assess the existing salary
schedule. A task force composed of teachers and
administrators developed evaluative criteria that provided
a
rating scale matrix from which salaries were established.
A
guide for the recruitment of sponsors was distributed to
all
district principals and department heads. Principals were
able to use the guide to provide objective information to
prospective sponsors, thus assuring mutual understanding
and
a minimum of complaints. A lengthy appendix provides data
on
such things as needs assessment, recruitment, results of
the
questionnaire, evaluation of criteria, and a copy of the
administrator guide. (Author/LD)
