Press Releases

SACRAMENTO — State Controller Malia M. Cohen has updated the Government Compensation in California (GCC) website to include self-reported 2022 salary data for K-12 education employers in the state. The data cover 467,891 positions and nearly $23.31 billion in wages at employers including public school districts, charter schools, and county offices of education.

While cities, counties, and special districts are required to report salary and benefits data to the State Controller, K-12 education employers are voluntary reporters for the purposes of GCC. The State Controller’s Office requested data from 1,899 education employers, 424 of whom filed compliant reports. Another 1,310 K-12 education employers did not file salary data reports, while 165 filed reports that were incomplete or did not comply with reporting guidelines. 

As the chief fiscal officer of California, Controller Cohen is responsible for accountability and disbursement of the state’s financial resources. The Controller has independent auditing authority over government agencies that spend state funds. She is a member of numerous financing authorities, and fiscal and financial oversight entities including the Franchise Tax Board. She also serves on the boards for the nation’s two largest public pension funds. Follow the Controller on X at @CAController and on Facebook at California State Controller’s Office.
