Here's How Much Clark, Garwood Superintendents, Principals Earn

CLARK/GARWOOD, NJ — The Department of Education recently released its annual list of New Jersey superintendents and principals and their salaries before the start of the 2018-19 school year. See where Clark and Garwood school leaders rank.

The list of educators making $150,000 or more — a list that barely had any educators on it two decades ago — has grown in recent years.

It's also a small fraction of the more than 100,000 people who are teachers and administrators in public and charter schools in this state. But the highest earners also come from all different schools — not just the so-called "wealthy" districts that routinely rank highly on national and state lists for best schools.

Superintendents, including years of service and New Jersey rank:

No. 304: Edward Grande, Superintendent, Clark Township, 18 years, $157,500

No. 323: Teresa Quigley, Superintendent, Lincoln, Garwood Borough, 21 years, $155,750

Principals, including years of service and New Jersey rank:

No. 850: Jennifer Feeley, Middle School Principal, Carl H. Kumpf School, Clark Township, 20 years, $142,500

No. 892: Richard Delmonaco, High School Principal, Arthur L. Johnson High School, Clark Township, 19 years, $141,232

No. 1352: Joseph Beltramba, Elementary School Principal, Valley Road School, Clark Township, 40 years, $130,343

No. 1500: Shirley Bergin, Elementary School Principal, Frank K. Hehnly, Clark Township, 32 years, $126,864

No. 2108: Mary Emmons, Middle School Principal, Lincoln, Garwood Borough, 16, $105,397

In 2017-2018, the median salary for administrators totaled $123,906, according to a Patch analysis of salary data for public school districts and charter schools. The increase was about 1 percent higher than the previous year.
