$1.2M In School Admin. Salaries In Cranford: See How It's Spent

CRANFORD, NJ - Superintendent and principal salaries continue to rise, and last year Cranford taxpayers spent $1,259,642 on the superintendent and principals in their school district.

The Department of Education recently released its annual list of superintendents and principals and their salaries before the start of the 2018-19 school year. Some of the principals and superintendents listed may no longer be with their schools; this list was developed in 2018.

The Department of Education has said it double-checks the data before delivering it to the media.

The list below is the Cranford principals and superintendent with their school, their school district, their years of service (which is surely a factor in their pay) and, finally, their salaries in 2018:
