I have a free resource for you, comparing sports coaches to the people who work on plays. It's helps you explain to your admin why they are practically one and the same, and why theatre "coaches" should be paid just as much. (Although, hourly, custodians are paid more than either - go figure!)

Subject: California Theatre Advisor Stipend Amount?
Hi there,
I am trying to do some research about stipend percentage averages. I was just informed that my stipend is 8% of my salary. I am aware that this is not an insignificant amount. However, it seems painfully low when I calculate the amount of hours I work outside of regular school hours. I have talked to my school's band director who works even more after school hours than I do and he, too, makes 8%. Is this pretty average? Would I be overstepping to inquire about negotiating for more? Any insight would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance!
