Dearest reader,
Next up in Grosse Ile Township Schools: compensation.
According to the district's 2025 Compensation Report, 29 employees had Medicare wages of $100,000 or more.
Combined total compensation for those 29 employees:
💰 $5,411,535.71
For a closer look at three central administrative positions:
🏫 Superintendent
Medicare Wages: $156,733.88
Total Compensation: $272,588.33
📋 Assistant Superintendent
Medicare Wages: $130,304.62
Total Compensation: $215,448.78
💵 Chief Financial Officer
Medicare Wages: $118,193.01
Total Compensation: $180,695.54
A quick distinction that matters:
The $100,000 threshold is based on Medicare wages reported by the district. Total compensation is higher because it also includes the retirement, insurance and FICA/Medicare costs reported for each employee.
As always, Lady B is not deciding whether anyone is paid too much, too little, or just right.
The purpose of the ledger is much simpler:
Put the numbers on the table.
You decide what you think of them. 🪶
With receipts and respect,
