Salary negotiations should be about qualifications and experience, but research shows that gender bias plays a significant role in the outcomes—even in school business leadership. So how does gender influence pay in the education sector, and what can be done to close the gap?In this episode of School Business Insider, we sit down with Dr. Ron Clamser, Assistant Superintendent for Business at Putnam | Northern Westchester BOCES, to explore the findings of his dissertation, The Effect of Gender Bias on Salary Negotiation Outcomes. Dr. Clamser shares key insights from his research, discusses how bias influences salary negotiations in school finance, and provides an update on how these issues have evolved since he first conducted his study.Whether you're negotiating your own salary, advocating for pay equity, or looking to understand the broader implications of gender bias in leadership, this episode delivers data-driven insights, real-world examples, and practical strategies.Contact School Business Insider: Check us out on social media: LinkedIn Twitter (X) Website: https://asbointl.org/SBI Email: podcast@asbointl.org Make sure to like, subscribe and share for more great insider episodes!Disclaimer:The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed are the speaker's own and do not represent the views, thoughts, and opinions of the Association of School Business Officials International.

Plenty of jobs, decent wages and less fear of AI With abundant, well-paying jobs available across the U.S., and the soaring costs of a four-year college degree, more high school graduates are considering a path that not long ago was seen as less desirable: a "blue collar" career in the skilled trades. Only 25 percent of Americans believe it is extremely important to have a college degree to find well-paying employment in the current economy, according to a poll by the Pew Research Center. Forty percent of respondents felt a degree was not important at all. Skillwork, a Nebraska-based agency that connects employers with skilled workers, estimates there are nearly 3 million unfilled trade jobs in the U.S., including some 500,000 in manufacturing. It cited a plumbing company in Seattle where many employees earn more than $100,000 annually and an electrician in Ithaca who makes $90 an hour, which translates to $172,000 a year. Michele Santiago, a guidance counselor at Beacon High School for 20 years, said she's seen an uptick in interest in the skilled trades from students and parents. "Ten percent of our 11th and 12th graders now attend the Dutchess BOCES Career and Technical Institute" in Poughkeepsie, she said. BOCES stands for Board of Cooperative Educational Services, which offers vocational training for students in districts that contribute funding. It also provides training in fields such as graphic design, fashion design, and film and audio for students who may pursue four-year degrees. Students in the 10th to 12th grades also can attend the annual Hudson Valley Construction Career Day, held in the spring. "It's hands-on," Santiago said. "Students speak to members of local unions about their trade, apprenticeship programs and benefits of being in a trade union." In Cold Spring, about 10 percent of the juniors and seniors at Haldane High School receive vocational training at the Putnam-Northern Westchester BOCES in Yorktown Heights, said Amanda Cotchen, a Haldane guidance counselor. "Students know that a trade is an option; we promote career readiness as opposed to just a college focus," she said. Tommy Andrews, 18, a recent Haldane graduate, is pursuing a trade by another route: the military. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserve and will attend boot camp in December before training to become a construction electrician. "I'll make up to $1,000 a week during the 22 weeks of boot camp and trade school," Andrews said. "And I'll receive a $20,000 bonus for signing up. I can't wait to go." As part of a six-year commitment, he'll work one weekend a month plus a two-week stint each summer. He hopes to land a full-time job through the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Although the Air Force and Army also offer training in skilled trades, the Navy was an easy choice for Andrews because his father and grandfather served. Stephen Lowery, director of career and technical education at Putnam-Northern Westchester BOCES, said college costs and rising student debt have changed the landscape over the past five years. Depending on the trade, BOCES grads can step out of high school into a job that pays as much as $70,000 a year. Lowery also has seen a shift in parental attitudes. "Parents who have always pushed going to college now see they won't have to pay that big tuition, and their kids are going to get a good job doing something they love," he said. Asked to pick the five trades offering job opportunities for BOCES grads, Lowery quickly named electrical; welding; heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC); carpentry; and landscaping-urban forestry. While the role of trade unions has declined in recent decades, he sees a resurgence there, as well, because unions realize workforces are aging and they need to recruit younger members. He pointed to the Sheet Metal Workers as one union that has been working closely with BOCES to fill its dwindling ranks. Nicholas Millas, the principal at Dutchess BOCES Career and Techn...

Budget votes, school board elections set for May 21 Beacon Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday. Voters who live in Beacon can cast ballots at Beacon High School, 101 Matteawan Road; district residents in Fishkill and Wappinger can vote at Glenham Elementary, 20 Chase Drive in Fishkill. Applications for absentee ballots are due Monday and completed ballots must be submitted to the district clerk by 5 p.m. on Tuesday. Beacon is proposing an $83.9 million spending plan (bit.ly/beacon-24budget), an increase of 3 percent. The tax levy rises to $47.7 million, a 3.9 percent increase that is the maximum allowed under the state's tax cap. According to the district, the annual increase for a Beacon resident who owns a home worth $425,000 about the median value in Dutchess, would be about $88. For Fishkill and Wappinger residents in the district, the estimated increase would be $100 and $106, respectively. In addition to the budget, voters will be asked to approve $50 million in spending on an array of capital projects, including heating, ventilation and energy-efficiency upgrades, new roofs on some buildings, an upgraded stage and theater at Beacon High School and new playground equipment at Sargent and Glenham elementaries. A third proposition would allow the district to purchase a second electric school bus. Voters approved buying one electric bus last year but it has yet to be purchased. The district has received approval from New York State for vouchers providing $257,250 for each bus, which, including a charger, sells for $495,000. The fourth proposition would permit the district to spend $485,000 to buy three 72-passenger, gas-powered buses. There are also four candidates for three open seats on the Beacon school board. You can read their responses here to three questions we posed. Garrison Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. in the school gymnasium at 1100 Route 9D. Applications for absentee ballots are due Monday. Completed ballots must be submitted to the district clerk by 5 p.m. on Tuesday. Garrison is proposing a $13.4 million budget (bit.ly/garrison-budget24), an increase of 6.4 percent. The levy rises by 4.4 percent to $11.2 million, the maximum amount allowed under the state's tax cap. Annual taxes on a property valued at $400,000 would increase $143. The district is proposing to add a kindergarten teacher ($116,700) to meet a projected enrollment increase and spend $69,000 for an arts-in-education program through Putnam-Northern Westchester BOCES, $30,000 for a new school sign and $25,000 for field trips. High school tuition expenses for 11 additional students in grades nine to 12 will rise by $168,034, and the district is budgeting $250,000 to replace the gymnasium roof (to be offset by a $125,000 grant upon completion) and $78,073 more for transportation services. The ballot includes three additional propositions. Two authorize the district to extend through June 2029 its contracts to send eighth-grade graduates to Haldane and O'Neill high schools. A fourth proposition allows the district to register voters throughout the year instead of on two specific dates. Registration would be cut off five days before an election or vote. There are also three candidates for three open seats on the Garrison school board. You can read their responses here to three questions we posed. Haldane Voting will take place from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the elementary school library at 15 Craigside Drive. Applications for absentee ballots are due by 4 p.m. on Monday and completed ballots must be received by the district clerk by 5 p.m. on Tuesday. Haldane is proposing a $29.2 million budget that represents a 3.45 percent increase in overall spending. The levy rises by 2.8 percent to $22.8 million, and stays within the tax cap. Property taxes on a home valued at $500,000 will increase by $203, according to the district. The budget (bit.ly/haldane-budget24) funds the addition of a second English as a New Language teacher ($100...
