Abstract: The March 2004 summary report provides baseline estimates for the Pooled Salary and Benefits Index, the Teacher Fixed Salary and Benefits Index, and the Comparable Wages Index. In this technical supplement, we explore the impact on the index values of changes in the definition of controllable and uncontrollable costs, and extend the analysis to include the 2003-04 school year. We also examine the relationship between the index values and key characteristics of Texas school districts such as student demographics and school district wealth.
