The highest earner in 2019, the latest figures available, was former District Superintendent Ryan Wamser, who was paid $111,000, according to records provided to the BND through a Freedom of Information Act request.
District Principal Vicki Norton was the second-highest earner, bringing in $93,503, the records show.
Theresa Fox, a reading teacher with the school district, was third with a salary of $78,492.
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.
