Title: SAGINAW COUNTY - Superintendent Wages
Post by: Shadowninja on Sep 25, 2026, 02:11 PM
Dearest reader,

Apparently, that $370,000 number caught a few eyes.

After I posted Saginaw ISD Superintendent Jeffrey Collier's reported wages, several readers asked the same question:

"What do the other superintendents in Saginaw County make?"

Fair question.

So I pulled the reported wage figures for the superintendents across Saginaw County and put them in one place.

At the top:

Saginaw ISD - Jeffrey Collier: $370,000

Then:

Saginaw Public — $313,552.59 
Chesaning Union — $221,226.39 
Saginaw Township — $192,919.98 
Freeland — $184,490.50 
Frankenmuth — $173,658.16 
Hemlock — $173,033.00 
Swan Valley — $152,265.17 
Carrollton — $149,480.00 
Birch Run — $134,292.31 
Merrill — $104,952.96 
St. Charles — $73,756.58 
Bridgeport-Spaulding — N/A

These are reported wages, not total compensation with retirement, insurance and other benefits piled on top.

A little context matters: Frankenmuth's figure involves an interim superintendent/high school principal position, and St. Charles had a superintendent change during the year. So this is a wage ledger, not an attempt to pretend every employment arrangement is identical.

But readers asked what the numbers looked like.

There they are.

With receipts and respect. 👑
