His total compensation was  nearly $400,000 . When McGehee was hired by the district, before the 2006–2007 school year, his salary was $170,000. He also received a $15,000 deferral into a tax-sheltered annuity in 2017, $6,000 to defray costs for a vehicle, $5,000 to defray the cost of moving and, according to his contract, the board “encourages him to take twenty-five days in annual vacation time, excluding holidays.” From 2006 to 2015, the superintendent salary in the district increased by 46.3 percent, adjusting for inflation.
