Metro-area superintendent contracts

The basic contract for a large district's executive has traditionally included base salary, vacation, vehicle or vehicle allowance, life and health insurance.

Over the past five years, however, more large districts have started including various add-ons: tax-sheltered annuities. Retention bonuses. Performance bonuses. Longevity pay. A cashout option for unused vacation.

The World-Herald obtained the contracts for several superintendents in Nebraska and western Iowa. Many are made available here. When you view a contract, you'll also see annotations on some that highlight some of the more interesting contract provisions.

Click each superintendent's name to explore the contract. Click column headers to sort the table.
