Taxpayers should be assured, Bozza added, that controls on compensation will continue because every superintendent's contract must be reviewed by the state before it takes effect.

"School district leaders have retired early or left the Garden State to work in neighboring states. The current policy created a powerful disincentive for aspiring superintendents to seek a position in New Jersey and resulted in talented leaders opting to remain in other administrative positions rather than losing compensation."
