Governor Murphy ends school Superintendent Salary Cap

Dan Fishbein 10

Ridgewood NJ,  Gov. Phil Murphy signed legislation ending the cap on school superintendent salaries in New Jersey. The Democratic governor signed the measure baring the state Department of Education from setting maximum salaries for superintendents and sets guidelines for school executive contracts to limit or standardize bonuses, golden parachutes and other fringe benefits.

Former Republican Gov. Chris Christie had implemented a $175,000 cap on superintendents in 2011, citing what he called high salaries and generous perks in superintendent contracts. The cap was raised to $191,584 in 2017, with incentives to earn more if school chiefs stay in the same district.

So who wants to guess how long it will take for the Ridgewood Board of Education to raise the salary of our schools superintendent?
