Cuomo's next target: school supes salaries

Feb 07, 2011 9:26 am
As Gov. Andrew Cuomo starts his push for a $2.85 billion cut in local school aid, one of his first agenda items has been to point out how much school superintendent salaries are, with over 50 around the state topping $250,000, and several on Long Island now well over $300,000. This has, in turn, prompted local newspapers to start charting local super salaries. In our area, the Albany Business Journal reports that, in Columbia County, the superintendent at Taconic Hills makes $181,701, the super at Ichabod Crane in Kinderhook makes $158,328 , the Chatham superintendent makes $153,400, the Germantown super makes $146,440, the superintendent at Hudson brings home $135,000, and the super at New Lebanon makes $134,260. In Greene County the figures for superintendent pay are Coxsackie-Athens, $155,952; Catskill, $151,938; Greenville, $140,057; Windham-Ashland-Jewett, $131,457; Cairo-Durham, $123,094; and Hunter-Tannersville, $122,548.
