>       Thanks to all who replied to my question regarding the salaries
> of Technology Coordinators.  Not surprisingly, there seem to be as many
> answers to this one as there are positions! Summaries follow:
>
> Vona Pitel (vpitel@omnifest.uwm.edu) suggested contacting the
> International Society of Technology in Education (503/346-4414), which I
> did.  They do not collect salary info.  Vona also reported seeing
> salaries ranging from mid-forties to low-sixties for a district tech.
> coordinator, depending upon responsibilities.
>
> William Russell Smith (rssmith@tenet.edu) saw a recent ad for a 4A school
> district (2,500 students, one high school, one jr. high, several elementary
> schools) with a range of 42,000 to 45,000.
>
> Dana McDougald (dmcdouga@moe.coe.uga.edu) has a friend in Fulton County,
> GA who was recently hired at 60,000.
>
> Ric Wiltse (wiltser@mlc.lib.mi.us) reports that the scale for an
> 11-month position is administrative, "which is a little more than the top
> of the teacher scale."  This is for a k-12 district of 2500 students.
>
> Doug Johnson (palsdaj@VAX1.Mankato.MSUS.EDU) sent along a very
> helpful survey of district media coordinators that he did about a year ago.
> According to the survey, salaries most commonly fell in the 40,000 to
> 59,000 range, with an average contract length of 220-230 days.
>
> Roger Whaley (ROWHALEY@ucs.indiana.edu) recommended the Association for
> Educational Communications and Technology (202/347-7834).  I did call and
> am waiting to hear from them.
>
> Nancy Martin (nmartin@esu6.esu6.k12.ne.us) reported that their new tech.
> coordinator "is paid on the teacher's salary schedule (a table that
> places you by years of experience and education)."
>
> Vaughan Brown (Vaughan_Brown@sbe.scarborough.on.ca) suggests contacting
> the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation at 416/751-8300.
>
> Lydia Wells Sledge (LWS@aol.com) reports that in Kentucky many school
> technology coordinators are library media specialists and receive no additiona
 l
> pay.  She also mentions "a dynamite technology conference" in Lexington
> in February.  Let her know if you are interested.
