Intermediate School Districts and Educational Service Agencies: Superintendent Compensation

Superintendents of our intermediate school districts are the educational and administrative leaders of organizations that serve large and diverse populations and constituencies.

Considering the size and scope of operational and educational services offered, ISD superintendents often lead organizations that are among the largest employers in their community.

Salaries reflect the standards of the communities they serve. This is a local decision.

There is a system of checks and balances in terms of compensating ISD superintendents comparably with local district superintendents. The market largely determines appropriate compensation.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to attract quality public school administrators and we need to be competitive to get the best candidates.
