- There are currently 132 CPSE (Committee on Preschool Special Education) administrators on staff
- The total number of CPSE administrator positions is 146
- The average salary for CPSE administrators is $135,648
- Wallenstein estimated that an additional 40 to 50 CPSE administrator staff would make a significant difference

Rita Joseph suggested that the administrators need a raise, implying that the current salary may not be sufficient to attract and retain qualified candidates.
