... Period n order to facilitate discussion, the committee believes it is important to provide very rough, ball-park figures for the cost of a SERP start-up. The problem, of course, is that the pace of start-up the number of initial research and development initiatives, the number of initial field sites, and the growth rate for each organizational activity will be determined by the available resources, the rate at which quality personnel can be recruited, and by critical decisions made by the early management team.

... Assumption C: Senior planning officer, senior communications officer, and senior development officer salaries are set at S150,000 each in Year 1, plus 1 senior administrative person per officer at S60~000 each Assumption D: 12 senior program officers (expert researchers and practitioners) and 2 web site design specialists salaries are set at S128~700 in Year 1, plus 1 administrative support person per program officer and design specialist at S50,000 each for ~ positions and S40,000 each for the other 6 positions.

... Senior program officer's base salary: Administrative support person base salary: Total base salaries: Applying full Toad factor (1.949 ~ total base) Finance officer's base salary: 1 administrative support person's salary: Total base salaries: Applying full load factor (1.949 ~ total base)

... There is no network staffing projected for Year 1. Load Factors The load factors applied to network staff positions (researchers, master teachers, senior fellows, junior fellows)
From page 131...
... Teacher Training Stipends Teacher training stipends for teachers receiving training and/or involved in training are set at S125 per day with no Toad. For example, in Year 2 the assumption is that summer training courses for teachers will involve 25 teachers for 15 days at S125 per day.

... Governing Board and Advisory Boards The Professional Staff Core and Network cost assumptions for travel have been used for travel of members of the governing board and advisory boards, namely: Four types of travel trips are used: (1) three-day trip, (2)

... C o n s u ~ ta n ts There may be need for professional and consultant services by persons who are members of a particular profession or who possess a special skill, including regularly engaged classroom teachers and other local district and school practitioners (as separate from teachers receiving training and/or otherwise involved in training sessions; these would receive stipends in keeping with the assumptions set forth in network staffing under Teacher Professional Development Stipends)

... In summary: Total for regular: Total for the field-based add-on: Total Cost for Field-Based: $9,593,571 S7,073,571 $2,520,000 One assumption underlying the projected amounts of S7,073,571 and S9,593,571 is that each project, whether regular or field-based, will require the same or similar staffing and travel as do the initial regular and field-based projects in the Learning and Instruction Network in Year 2 (the start year for the networks)
