OKWatch Database Compares Superintendent Salaries
Comparing Salaries Among School Superintendents
By Victor Henderson and Nate Robson, Oklahoma Watch
School superintendents in Oklahoma earn a wide range of salaries, with more than half pulling down over $100,000 in total compensation.
For dozens of superintendents in mostly smaller districts, total pay includes additional salary for working multiple jobs, mostly as a principal or teacher.
The table below shows what superintendents at each district earned in 2015-2016, as recorded by the Oklahoma State Department of Education.
Base pay covers only salary for one position, usually the superintendent’s job. Total pay includes benefits, such as health insurance and retirement, and any salary for an additional role. Amounts this fiscal year could change because of mid-year budget cuts.
