Check out Riverhead schools administrator salaries

How much are Riverhead schools administrators making?
That information is required to be sent to the New York State Education Department by all districts each year before May school budget votes. The agency then lists the salaries to its website.
The state hasn’t posted the information yet, but the News-Review has acquired 2010-11 administrator salaries from Riverhead’s schools.
Districts are required only to list the position, and not the name of the person holding that position, officials said.
Some of the assistant superintendent positions carry individual contracts, which have not yet been renewed, while the assistant superintendent for curriculum and development position is as yet unfilled; that number reflects the salary of the last person to hold that post, said Michael Ivanoff, the assistant superintendent for finance and operations.
Principals and assistant principals are covered by the Riverhead Administrators Association contract.
