Houston Schools Superintendent Highest Paid In State Or Is He?
The Houston Chronicle conducted a study and published its results in mid-March. As part of the Sunshine Week open-records program of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, the newspaper surveyed the compensation packages of superintendents across the state, finding that ten regional superintendents in greater Houston exceed $199,000 in annual salary.
They narrowed their research to Harris, Montgomery, Fort Bend, Galveston and Brazoria counties, looking only at the base salaries for superintendents. Though many compensation packages include car allowances, retirement packages, and performance incentives, such perks would be more difficult to compare. Each contract is negotiated individually and perks vary from contract-to-contract for superintendents.
The study, which focused on the 2004-2005 school year, found that the Houston schools superintendent, Abelardo Saavedra, is the highest paid at $278,100; however, the Houston schools also is the largest district in Texas with a student population of 208,945. That means Saavedra was paid a little more than $1.33 per student.
