SAU 26 Top Wage Earners in 2012

Below is a chart of the top 50 wage earners in the school district in 2012. The list is a combination of district and school administration as well as teachers with longevity at the schools.

When voters go to the polls among the major financial decisions they make year over year include the budget, salary agreements and special capital projects. A lot of taxpayer dollars go to the salaries of town and school employees and as we brought you this information last year, we are again for 2012 salaries. Much of the breakdown of spending information for budgets and capital projects is contained in annual reports, however salaries within the community are not.

Below find a chart of the top wage earners in Merrimack's SAU 26 and below that, similar to our town comparison with communities slightly larger and smaller than Merrimack, is a side-by-side comparison with neighboring Bedford School District.
