Dearest Readers,
Our next stop brings Lady Budgetdown to Plymouth-Canton Community Schools (82100) and the district's 2024–25 employee compensation report.
The district's publicly available report contains 210 employees with W-2 Medicare wages of $100,000 or more.

And an important bit of context before we go any further: this is not simply a list of administrators.
Among those 210 entries are:
🍎 88 Secondary Classroom Teachers
🍎 8 Elementary Classroom Teachers
🍎 12 Special Education Teachers/Staff
There are also counselors, principals, therapists, coordinators, directors, executive leadership and other positions throughout the report.
For today's snapshot, Lady Budgetdown is highlighting seven senior leadership positions:
🏛� Superintendent
W-2 Medicare Wages: $270,250.52
Total Compensation: $437,611.34
👥 Chief Human Resource Officer
W-2 Medicare Wages: $182,907.35
Total Compensation: $278,747.50
🏫 Assistant Superintendent — Student & Family Engagement
W-2 Medicare Wages: $172,958.51
Total Compensation: $261,530.43
💰 Chief Finance & Operations Officer
W-2 Medicare Wages: $171,147.67
Total Compensation: $287,152.09
⚙️ Assistant Superintendent — Support Services

Total Compensation: $270,993.14
📋 Director of DEI & Compliance

Total Compensation: $206,468.34
📚 Chief Academic Officer
W-2 Medicare Wages: $115,067.84
Total Compensation: $184,867.00
Together, these seven positions represent approximately $1.20 million in W-2 Medicare wages and $1.93 million in total compensation.
One number worth noticing: the Superintendent's $270,250.52 in W-2 Medicare wages becomes $437,611.34 in total compensation once the other district-reported compensation components are included.
And that's precisely why Lady Budgetdown shows both numbers.
A salary figure tells us one thing.
The full cost of compensation tells us another.
As always, the purpose isn't to decide for readers whether any employee is paid too much, too little, or exactly what they should be.
It is simply to show taxpayers what the public records say.
