I have an interview for an accountant position at a school district next week. The school district is decent sized (at least for around here), around 8,000 students with a $90m budget. It’s not entry level but I don’t think it’s real far up the chain – probably a standard staff accountant position, though they are looking for 5 yrs experience and a CPA license. The job description was fairly vague (lots of buzzwords about budgets, etc., but very little in terms of job responsibilities).

Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone works in a school district and could give me a ballpark idea of what the salary/benefits are like in a school district setting. I hope to avoid talking about salary in the interview, but if I get cornered and have to talk about it, I was hoping to at least have a ballpark of what they are going to be thinking.

Sorry I don’t have more details to provide – like I said, the job description didn’t give me a whole lot to go off of.

Little about me in case it matters, CPA, CMA, Master’s, 2 yrs public accounting experience.

Thanks in advance!
