SCARSDALE NEGOTIATES FIRST $190,000 PRINCIPAL;  
 COULD REACH ALMOST $200,000 

The Scarsdale Principals Association recently negotiated the most lucrative contract in New York State history. The contract, a version of ESSAA’s Executive Recruitment and Retention Compensation Plan, will result in the High School Principal earning between $190,000 and $200,000 by the end of the its fifth year. The variation will depend on the CPI in the last two years of the contract.

The Middle School Principal’s salary will reach between $180,000 and $185,000. The Elementary Principals top salaries will be between $170,000 and $175,000. The senior High School Assistant Principal’s salary with longevity could reach $180,000.

Scarsdale Association President Corwith Hansen unequivocally stated, “We couldn’t have done this without our ESSAA attorney who negotiated this great package. Whenever I look at my paycheck it reminds me how glad I am that we left SAANYS.”

President Hansen continued, “The beauty of the salary package developed by ESSAA, the Executive Recruitment and Retention Plan, is that our members on average are receiving raises of $10,000 a year on public percentages of 3.5% & 3.75%.”

For the record, ESSAA notes that the rumor that Commissioner Mills applied for an AP position in Scarsdale is not true. [Or if true, he didn’t get an interview.]
