STATE OF THE SUPERINTENDENCY

Infographic with pie chart and piggy bank underneathSchool districts contribute to a superintendent’s tax-deferred annuity or private retirement account at a significantly higher level compared to a decade ago, according to AASA’s annual surveys of superintendents.

Almost 41 percent of 2,077 superintendents in the latest survey had such a provision in their contract in 2024-25, an increase by a little more than 4 percent over 2022-23. By comparison, only 27 percent of the 1,278 superintendents responding to AASA’s 2012 survey indicated they received school board support for a private retirement account.
