Editorial: Salary raise for state superintendent debated
The Iowa Senate approved a 3000 raise to make the state superintendent's salary 26000, upsetting Governor Ray who says money blocks hiring. He notes eight of nine top candidates would not take the post for less than 30000, while some Senators argue the post would still pay less than many local district superintendents, up to 28000.

Call for Iowa school boss at lawful salary
The writer argues for hiring a state superintendent within Iowa law noting salaries of $23,000 to $26,000. They dismiss inflated figures of $40,000 to $50,000 and condemn the ongoing raise to $30,000 as unsuitable while calling for practical budgeting and a return to businesslike leadership. The critique references Paul Johnston moving from superintendent to consultant at $19,000 and urges restraint amid calls to hold the line.
