COLUMBUS, Ohio - An updated salary database allows Ohioans to search the salaries of administrators and teachers in Ohio's 613 public school districts.
The Buckeye Institute, a conservative think tank based in Columbus, received the data from the Ohio Department of Education showing 1,800 public school employees made more than $100,000 in 2010. In the Columbus City School District, 78 employees earned more than six figures in 2010.
Superintendent Gene Harris topped the list in Columbus with a salary of $185,912. The head of Ohio's largest school district, Harris' salary was $40,000 more than the next highest paid Columbus City School employee and ranked fifth in Ohio.
Cleveland Metropolitan School District CEO Eugene Sanders led the list with a salary of $275,834 in 2010.

It is for the children - don’t cha know...
Nothing like receiving a fat salary to indoctrinate young ones into atheist/socialist thought. Much like using the power to tax and spend as a means of ingratiating oneself to the constituents.
My husband must be at the wrong school...after twenty years of teaching he earns approximately $40,000. These stories always lump administrators in with teachers when they typically earn double or triple what teachers make.
It looks like in TX the education people are earning way too much.

That’s because “teachers are eeevvviiiillll” and they have to stretch the figures to make them look that way.
Personally, most in rural districts are lucky to make $40,000. We’re facing a $5,000 CUT in my husband’s salary for this school year.
Thanks for the data!
Does this include those Area Education Agencies or whatever they’re called? Those places are stuffed to the gills with highly-paid bureaucrats, as I understand it.
FYI
Historically, throughout the 20th Century, the highest paid teacher was paid just twice the beginning salary. Nationally, it is still pretty much the same. There is no career ladder for teachers.To advance in education, one must go into administration, where the rule is that the lowest paid educator will earn more than the highest paid classroom teacher. There are exceptions.Here in Texas football coaches can earn more than $100,000 a year.Don’t think anyone will begrudge them this, but it does show how the public truly devaluates ordinary academic instruction.
Teachers in most school systems an=re drastically over paid for the quality of both the work and the outcome of the product. Less than 50% of the students in Cleveland graduate high school and a significant percentage of the graduates are employable. Many are unable to read.
