Data on the salaries of district superintendents and principals in Illinois
From 1995 to 2007, researchers at Western Illinois University collected and compiled data on the salaries of district superintendents and principals in Illinois. The Illinois School Board Journal published a study of that voluntarily-submitted data. With the introduction of mandatory reporting of administrator salaries, the data was unavailable for several years. In 2014, the Illinois State Board of Education made its data available to researchers, so after updates covering the intervening years, the series resumed in 2015.
Here are direct links to the annual reports carried in the Illinois School Board Journal, which may be readily downloaded and/or printed.
