Alberta reviews school superintendent pay amid concerns of high salaries
EDMONTON – Alberta’s education minister has begun a review of salaries paid to school superintendents.
David Eggen says there is a wide gap among contracts and he is concerned some superintendents are being paid too little and some are getting too much.
Last month, the Alberta School Boards Association reported that pay for superintendents rose 10 per cent over five years and is slightly higher on average than other provinces.
Eggen says he wants the review done as quickly as possible and he will not be approving any new superintendent contracts in the meantime.
