Suburban Chicago Superintendent Makes $400,000

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

A Niles Township school superintendent made $411,500 last year -- a record in a year that saw top public elementary and high school administrators' pay climb past $400,000 for the first time.

But the taxpayer tab for Neil Codell, 56, didn't stop after he left his post June 30.


Codell continued to receive his superintendent's salary -- even while in a lesser job -- for an additional six months.

Who said government work can't be lucrative!
