CLICK IN: How Much Does Your School Superintendent Make?

Ever hear the term, you should never tell your co-worker what you make? Well, I'm here to say, the superintendent is not my co-worker, so I will not bite my tongue.

Now, this is a directory for all the public school districts in the state. It is an estimation of what the current superintendent's contract is. This information is collected by The Mackinac Center.

Heads up, just because it is in the directory, doesn't make it true.

I'd also like to drop a note before we begin our journey into the pockets of our children's superintendents. This is not supposed to be something to call out or diminish what each school superintendent does for their community by what they earn. This is not the twentieth century where we are in different social classes where one is better than the other. It's merely an information source.

The Lansing Public School District superintendent racks in about $282,063a year as of the highest-paid superintendent in Ingham County. The lowest-paid superintendent in Ingham County is from Williamston, only making about $32,295 a year in total.

I've got the official list of the Ingham County below:

I did not forget about Jackson County either, how could we? Western School Districts superintendent makes about $265,836, as the highest-paid superintendent in the area. The lowest-paid superintendent in the county is from Springport Public Schools, making about $137,180.

As a closing reminder, this article was not meant to diminish what our superintendents do for our school systems. These people look after and make great decisions for our children.
