Saw this website posted on another board and thought it was interesting:

http://www.tea.state.tx.us/adhocrpt/adpea06.html

You can search for your superintendent's salary by district, city, region (ESC regions) or the entire state. It was an eye-opener for me...I knew they were paid a lot, but puleeze!

The list will show base pay and the "full-time equivalent." Some of the smaller-school superintendents that also act as principals, business managers, etc., have their pay based on a percentage of time spent in the role of superintendent.

ours pulls 105,000....which is crazy jack....since we only have 2270 in our system, where as dayton has 4208 and their principals only being paid 12000 more dollars...we know who's making out on this end of the deal

I have no problem with them making a decent living, but I dont think they should be getting rich. They are nothing at all like a CEO! A CEO's salery isnt tax payer money. If a CEO doesnt make the smart business decisions to make the company profitable, he is out. Maney Superintendents couldnt make it as a manager of a for-profit business.

We have to remember that their position is perilous. Remember when people get mad a lot of them lose their jobs over a period of just 3 or 4 years so they don't have financial security like tenured teachers, etc. They are subject to being dismissed at a moment's notice. We must be careful indeed before we complain.

Any school administrator has a difficult job, no doubt. Their jobs require a high level of education and qualifications that are not easy to obtain. They are also in a position of leadership which requires making a variety of decisions, from the mundane to the very difficult. Therefore, much of what they do and many of their decisions are based on their professional judgment. This warrants a salary that reflects the professional demands needed to do the job properly.

That being said, I think many people forget about who actually "makes the district work." Most days, the district goes about its business (getting students to and from campuses and activities safely and without incident, creates and maintains safe and clean facilities, provides quality educational programs for students, pays the bills, etc.) without the superintendent's fingers being directly involved.

This is true for many organizations and businesses and the relationship between their leadership and facilitators. The quality leaders, in education and business, are the ones who are smart enough to set appropriate goals, hire people who are qualified to meet and exceed the goals, and the supervise the process making as few adjustments as possible and when needed. Without all the people involved in the process, the leaders can only do so much.

Kinda like quarterbacks... they can manage a game correctly but without the line, running backs and receivers doing their jobs they can only do so much to score and win. Once I heard that a QB alone can't win a game for you but they can sure lose one in a hurry. I think its true with any leader.

I do, It should be totally proportional to what a single teacher makes. You pay a teacher $30,000, then maybe $80,000 is reasonable. Sup pay is $300,000, then teachers should be paid $90,000 to $100,000.

No, a CEO's salary isn't tax payer money, but a CEO doesn't have to deal with school boards explaining budgets, make sure that all federal and state education laws are being followed and report all kinds of gobbledigook for those agencies that make the education laws.....plus deal with the media (upon occasion) when the school may not be performing "up to par".

When UT hired Dana X. Bible as football coach he was offered $15,000 a year which was one of the highest paid salaries offered to a college coach and even more thant what the College Dean made (who got a raise as well). Remember this was in 1936 which would probably well over a million dollars by today's dollar buying power. Anyway UT had come on hard football times so they paid the money to get a top rated coach. But one thing Dana demanded (he knew their value) was to be able to hire good assistant coaches and he knew they would have to be paid a good salary which UT agreed to also. Bible wanted the top Texas high school coach (Blaire Cherry) and the top Texas junior college coach (who I can't remember - can anyone help?) and he got them both and thus turned the football program around.

Teacrehs and thaceer "unions" don't netotiage - tehy tkae waht the satte and scoohl distritcs gvie tehm. Salaries are negotiated up here. You don't get paid on years experience...it is on how many degrees you have.The school district I am in gives you credit for the first four years of experience...after that it is based on college hours toward a master's degree. I do think furthering your education is essential, but I also think that years experience in the classroom should be equally accountable. It was very frustrating when I was asked to help a new teacher (who had several hours towards her masters) her first year. She was getting paid the same as me...The way I see it is if they think all her graduate hours are worth the extra pay she should have been ready to hit the ground running when she signed her contract. Maybe I could negotiate with them????? :devil:

Hey, the super in Weimer with a Doctorate degree earns almost $30K less than the old super in LG with a masters....grant it there is a difference in enrollment numbers and years experience. What do you think about the 'consultation' job that was created to help the new super.???? It seems the old super set his salary at like $60 something thousand to be a consultant for the new super from August (beginning of fiscal year???) thru November. Wild isn't it....if all that information is correct. A waste of money if you ask me....seeing that the new super is experienced.

Okay, to set the record straight about some apparent misconceptions:

You DO NOT have to have a doctorate (PhD or EdD) to become a superintendent. You have to have a master's degree in Administration (which many districts are now also requiring for A.D. jobs) and a superintendency certificate. All that is required to become a principal or a superintendent in 3 years of classroom experience. That's it.

For example, Cuero ISD's superintendent does not have a doctorate and makes $101,000+ with an enrollment of less than 2,000. In contrast, teachers at Cuero ISD make $1000 above the state base salary. If you have a master's degree, you make an additional $1000. So last year, a teacher with a master's degree and three years of teaching experience (technically, the same academic experience that a supe has, minus the certificate) in Cuero ISD made $28,580.

Now, a teacher can certainly make more at another district. In
Duncanville ISD, for example, the starting salary for a beginning teacher fresh out of college was $40,500. The state base salary for that level of experience was $24,820. Districts have to pay at least the state minimum, but there is no salary cap for richer districts.

In addition to their salary, most supes and assistant supes have their family's health insurance paid for as well by the district as a perk. Usually it is the best of the three available plans. A family plan on the middle insurance plan (not the best but not the worst)
costs $900+ per month out of a teacher's salary. So you need to work that into the equation as well.

Usually a superintendent LOVES to have a well-paid AD come in because KA is right--no one can make more than the superintendent in a school district. So when a high-dollar AD comes in, guess what? The supe gets an automatic raise.

Teachers do not settle for their salaries. As a right-to-work state, it is illegal for teachers in Texas to unionize in the traditional sense of the word. There are teachers "unions", but it is illegal for them to participate in any type of salary decisions, including negotiations. Teachers, as "state employees," cannot strike. However, for insurance purposes, educators ARE NOT considered state employees and therefore cannot participate in the state health insurance plan. They are also not considered state employees at reitrement time, and educators in Texas (as well as policemen and firemen here and in 8 other states) are penalized by Social Security when they retire.

Overall, teachers have all of the responsibility and none of the benefits. I love my job in the school system, but would not encourage my own children or my students to go into education. I look at my job as a labor of love and not as a means of making money. However, it shouldn't have to be that way.

Okay, I'm off of my soap box now.

i see where your coming from. i am a college student who is going to be getting his b.s. in elementary education and get certified to teach EC-4. I will be a 3rd generation educator. I only encourage high pay for principals and administrators because I aspire to be one one day. I know that basically the only way to "make MONEY" in this profession is too work up the ladder.

Good luck. The world is sorely in need of male elementary teachers as so many little ones don't have a male role model at home at all. I think that is wonderful.
