The highest earner in 2019, the latest figures available, was District Superintendent Tomi Diefenbach, who was paid $121,708, according to records provided to the BND through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Assistant Superintendent Mark Jannsen was the second-highest earner employed by the school district, bringing in $101,891, the records show.
The district’s general administrator, Loren Holcomb, was third on the list with a salary of $93,636.
The BND’s Public Pay Database goes back to 2011 with information obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests. The salary information does not always include insurance or benefits. Some records include detailed information on overtime and other pay, while for some districts that information was not readily available.
The database includes worker compensation in most local governments, including cities, counties, townships, school districts and local colleges and universities. More pay records will be added as the BND receives salary data through open records requests.
