| COMPENSATION | The Board of Trustees of West Oak Lane Charter School engaged James E. Rocco Associates, Inc. to determine how the current base salaries and total compensation paid to five senior level non-teaching staff compare to the competitive labor market, defined as peer charter schools and other not-for-profit educational agencies. The compensation consultant reviewed WOLCS's organization structure, its programs and operations as outlined in the Annual Report, and a detailed account of the scope of each position, and the roles and responsibilities, special skills and competencies, internal and external relationships, and education and experience qualifications of incumbents. The review also considered a history of the compensation package provided to each incumbent, including base salary, incentive payor bonus, and the reportable annual value of other forms of compensation and supplemental benefits and perquisites as well as IRS Form 990 data for charter schools in Philadelphia. This information facilitated matching those positions with positions of similar responsibility and authority in comparable organizations and ensured the appropriateness of position matches with published salary survey data. Where data was gathered from geographic locations outside the Philadelphia metropolitan area, an adjustment was applied to account for differences in the cost of living, using the Economic Research Institute's Geographic Assessor. |
