Read the whole article at the link.  This is part of that article.  There is some very interesting information in that article. 



McGehee began working in the Sparta School District in southwest Missouri, near Springfield, as a high school principal and athletic director in 1995. He was promoted to the Superintendent of Schools in 1998. His salaries for the three years he worked as Superintendent of Schools in Sparta from 1998 through 2001 were $56,500, $60,000 and $70,000.

Following three years as Superintendent in Sparta, McGehee worked for five years as Superintendent of Schools for the Raymore-Peculiar School District. His annual salaries between 2001 and 2006 were $90,000, $103,500, $118,400, $125,500 and $140,000.

McGehee accepted his current position as the Superintendent of Schools for the LSR7 School District in 2006, a position in which he has remained for the last 10 years. Beginning in 2006, he has signed three year contracts, renegotiating them each on a yearly basis.

In 2006, McGehee signed an initial three-year contract for $170,000 for the 2006-2007 school year, $176,800 for 2007-2008 and $176,800 for 2008-2009.

One year later, in 2007, he renegotiated a three-year contract for another three years with the following terms of compensation–$180,000 for the 2007-2008 school year; $185,400 for 2008-2009 and $185,400 in 2009-2010.

Again, in 2008, he renegotiated a three-year contract for a salary of $192,500 in 2008-2009; $198,275 in 2009-2010 and $204,225 in 2010-2011.

McGehee signed a renegotiated three-year contract in 2009 for a salary of $192,500 in 2009-2010; $198,275 in 2010-2011 and $204,275 for 2011-2012.

In 2010, he signed a three-year contract for $200,200 in 2010-2011, $204,200 in 2011-2012 and $208,200 for 2012-2013. 

Calculating the percentage of salary increases per year received from the baseline of $170,000 in 2006 to 200,200 in 2010 does account for modest yearly increases per year, considering cost of living adjustments. 

A fact sheet released by the LSR7 School District on April 12 contends that McGehee’s salary increases averaged 3.74% for the last nine fiscal years. 

That assertion implies that his salaries would have increased over the last nine fiscal years by about 33.6%. His salary in 2006–his first year as Superintendent of the LSR7 School District–not including fringe benefits, was $170,000. 

His current contract stipulates a salary of $304,330 for the 2016-2017 school year, not including fringe benefits. That reflects an increase of $134,330 in annual salary since his first year when he received $170,000. That represents an increase over 10 years of more than 79%.

Having never completed the second or third year of a three-year contract in his first five years as Superintendent, in 2011 the pace of McGehee’s salary increases were significantly accelerated, compared to his first five years.

His contracted salary for the 2011-2012 school year jumped to $237,277, $254,518 in 2012-2013 and $274,061 for 2013-2014.

In 2012, he, again, renegotiated a three-year contract for a salary of $258,660 for the 2012-2013 school year, $278,285 for 2013-2014 and $283,003 in 2014-2015. In 2013, McGehee was recognized as Superintendent of the Year by the Missouri Association of School Administrators.

The three year contract that he renegotiated in 2013 included a salary of $282,831 for the 2013-2014 school year, $294,463 in 2014-2015 and $306,735 for 2015-2016.

In 2014 he renegotiated a three-year contract to include a salary of $294,463 in 2014-2015, $306,735 for 2015-2016 and $319,695 in 2016-2017.

For the 2015-2016 school year, his annually renegotiated three-year contract included a salary of $276,286 for that year, $288,027 in 2016-2017 and $300,459 for 2017-2018.

His base salary, not including deferred compensation, has increased by $106,286 during his 10 years as Superintendent of LSR7, starting at $170,000 for the 2006-2007 school year and increased to $276,286 for the 2015-2016 school year. 

This year his contract, which was altered by school board member and former Board President, Terri Harmon, after the Board had approved it on April 7th, sets his salary for the current 2016-2017 school year at $304,330, $326,494 in 2017-2018 and $337,199 for 2018-2019.

Missouri Schools - The Washington Post

Missouri Schools - The Washington Post Some schools brag about their high passing rates on AP or IB, meaning the percentage of test-takers who scored 3, 4 or 5 on the 5-point AP exam or 4, 5, 6 or 7 on the 7-point IB exam. Passing scores make students eligible for credit at many colleges and universities. I decided not to count passing rates in this way because I found that many high schools kept those rates artificially high by allowing only top students to take the courses. AP, IB and AICE are important because they give average students a chance to experience the trauma of heavy college reading lists and long, analytical college examinations. Research has found that even low-performing students who got a 2 on an AP test did significantly better in college than similar students who did not take AP. On the list, we also give readers a sense of how well each school’s students are doing on the tests by posting the Equity and Excellence rate, which is the percentage of all graduating s

I have a strong relationship with many of the districts’ families and I can help to bridge the gap between them and the district.   I understand the commitment to the time and energy required each week for meetings, phone calls, conversations, visits to schools, and professional development seminars and workshops.   I already do that with the families that I work with and can c
