Salaries of Some School Positions
You can also search by school for the salaries that are paid by district. The highly controversial SB5 (Issue 2) was about helping local governments decide how to best spend their budgets rather than having the public sector unions dictate salaries, benefits and pensions. The voters repealed the bill and now with many school levies having failed, schools and local governments are looking for ways to cut expenses to meet their budgets.
Out of curiosity, I checked the Business First database for salaries for the school district I live in – Delaware. Delaware was a district whose hefty levy passed. My findings:
- 2 Superintendents: one earning $121,290; one earning $112,019
- 1 Assistant Superintendent earning $109,535
- 8 Principals with salaries between $109,535 to $77,411
- 6 Assistant Principals with salaries between $78,584 to $69,673
- 2 Directors earning $105,165 and $98,920
- 3 Supervisors earning between $101,106 to $65,784
- 12 Remedial Specialists with 5 earning in the $70,000′s.
- 11 Counselors earning between $78,887 to $51,044
- 291 Teachers with 66 earning in the $70,000′s; 66 in the $60,000′s; 57 in the $50,000′s; 53 in the $40,000′s; 39 in the $30,000′s; and 19 below $30,000
- 30 Clerical workers earning between $60,377 to $20,106
You might want to check YOUR district before the next election asking for more money from the voters.
