Morrison tops the list for base pay and potential bonus (10 percent of his base pay, or $28,000). But his benefits don't stand out as unusual. The WRAL article notes that Currituck County provided its superintendent a rent-free house and agreed to fence the yard for her dogs. Superintendent Allison Sholar decided to move out about a year later, the article says, and the board amended her contract to give her an additional $1,200 a month (while turning the house into office space).
Mooresville Superintendent Mark Edwards got 20 extra vacation days so he can visit out-of-state family, the article notes.
