Search for school superintendents continuing in several districts
Melanie Schulz, director of government relations, said in testimony given Feb. 9 that the decision to cap salaries of chief school administrators has had many "unanticipated consequences"
Schulz cited several issues, including the cap does not allow for any raise ever and highly effective, experienced school leaders are aggressively seeking other employment and/or retirement options. She also said New Jersey has become the ideal location to train young, new chief school administrators — then send them packing to other states.
She said the inability to offer competitive salaries has created great instability and there is no incentive for lower-tier administrators to move into superintendent positions.
