LADY BUDGETDOWN: PORTAGE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Dear readers, Step 3 opens Portage's 2025 compensation ledger. 👓📖
The district's disclosure lists 66 employees with combined total compensation of $12,396,105.
Lady Budgetdown narrowed the spectacles to 11 leadership positions, the superintendent, assistant superintendents and directors.
Those 11 positions represent:
Combined base salaries: $1,554,149
Combined total compensation: $2,540,257
That's about 20.5% of the total compensation reported for all 66 employees, concentrated among 11 positions.
No conclusions tucked beneath the parchment. Just another page of the public ledger laid out for readers to examine.
With receipts & respect. 👑
