A new database compiled by the The Mackinac Center for Public Policy shows Anchor Bay and L'Anse Creuse superintendents earning upwards of $236,881.
Editor's Note: The Mackinac Center for Public Policy acknowledged that some numbers in the superintendent database released last week may be incorrect. For instance, the center's figures show Utica Community Schools' superintendent as being the highest compensated in the state with a package of $300,789. But the Kalamazoo Gazette said that distinction might actually go to its superintendent, who has a total package worth $344,667 in 2012. MLive reported that the center's director said he’s received several phone calls from superintendents saying certain information is not correct.

With four snow days under its winter belt, Anchor Bay Schools says it won't need make-up days just yet. "We have not reached the number of days for any make up days and it’s hard to answer how many days we can miss because it’s done by contact hours, not by days," said Kathy Czarniawski, administrative assistant to Superintendent Leonard Woodside. "But my rough guess would be five days but many circumstances come into play when you go over that," she said of how many days are allowed before make-ups are needed. "The state could also, depending on the situation, make adjustments to the number of days." The district recently chose to shut doors one day last week due to concerns of icy roads. That was the fourth snow day of this school year …
