A recent survey of district trends in superintendents’ salaries and benefits was released by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB Link opens in a new window) and Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA Link opens in a new window). The TASB/TASA survey conducted annually by the TASB HR Services division is the first of a series of three surveys that is the most definitive study of school district compensation and benefits practices in Texas. The information is used by policymakers at both the local and state levels to make decisions about educators’ pay. Of particular note are the following:
Thirty-three percent of returning superintendents (200) did not receive a pay increase. Eighty-six percent of respondents (620) had a returning superintendent for 2016–17.
The average superintendent pay increase was 3.2 percent, up from last year’s average of 2.9 percent.
