Retirement Accounts
August 01, 2025
STATE OF THE SUPERINTENDENCY
School 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.
