Superintendent Salary


Came across a list of the top 25 highest and lowest paid Illinois school superintendents.

The info was released by the Illinois State Board of Education and summarized here:

At the top...... Linda Yonke of New Trier (Northfield). She has 2 schools with 4,100 students and pulls in an astronomically high $370k (includes benefits).

The rest of the top 10:
NORTHBROOK
PARK FOREST
HIGHLAND PARK
CALUMET CITY
DES PLAINES
ARGO (Summit)
MARQUARDT (Glendale Heights)
HOMEWOOD-FLOSSMOOR
SKOKIE

And at the bottom.......
CYPRESS
DODDS
MCCLELLAN (Mt. Vernon)
HARVEY DIXMOOR
BUNCOMBE
OAKWOOD
SOUTH FORK (Kincaid)
LICK CREEK (Buncombe)
SHILOH
GRAND PRAIRIE (Centralia)

How much is a superintendent worth?

I've seen good ones (Long, Jones).

I've seen bad ones (names withheld).

Good ones (dedicated, invested, involved, supportive) definitely earn their pay.

Out for now........
