Call for Participation: IT Salary and Job Satisfaction Survey

THE Journal is relaunching its K–12 IT Salary and Job Satisfaction Survey. To date, thousands of K–12 IT professionals have participated, providing valuable insights into the profession for their peers and colleagues.

We're now asking you, as an IT professional working in K–12 education, to share your insights and opinions on your workplace, your pay, your concerns, and your plans for your career in the future.

The results of the survey will be made freely available and shared with you, your colleagues, and your peers. All information is being collected anonymously, unless you explicitly request to be contacted for a follow-up interview.

We hope you will be able to contribute to this effort. Your participation is not only greatly appreciated, but it has a meaningful impact.
