Superintendent salaries tell only part of story
We got a big response from readers to our Thursday editorial about superintendent salaries and benefits, and the need for the state to pass legislation requiring that all government entities disclose the salaries and benefits of all employees on their Web sites. The more people learn about how much some public employees make - and the benefits they receive - the louder the clamor for reform will become. See editorial: http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061012/OPINION/610120404/1029.
The state Depatment of Education has begun posting the salaries of top school administrators on its Web site. It's useful, but it doesn't include the perks, which add nearly 40 percent to administrators' base pay. Here's the link: http://www.nj.gov/njded/data/salary/. Bear in mind that the figures are a year old - probably 4 percent or more lower than they are today.

The DOE (and local Districts) should also post the test scores during the tenure of the Superintendents, and their academic credentials. The test scores are available but deeply buried; the Superintendents' degrees and resumes are unavailable. This will allow the public to see whether it's getting its money's worth.
