Superintendents are very well compensated here in NJ, some as much as $140K or higher...

Our superintendent not only doesn't live in district, she doesn't even live in NJ - she commutes from PA (I guess she figures the taxes are too high in NJ ;^). To be fair, many people in my area who make similar money are moving to PA (we are very close to the border, and the differnece in property taxes is significant). (See, PA has local income taxes and funds it's school system differently than NJ)
