While superintendents’ salaries are rising, students’ academic performance continues to fall, leaving taxpayers to wonder if they are getting their money’s worth. And, contrary to what one might think, the salaries do not correlate with the number of students enrolled in a district.
Several lawmakers have proposed measures to cap superintendent salaries, including limiting them to twice the annual salary of the district’s highest-paid classroom teacher and restricting them to no more than the governor’s salary, currently $153,750.
