The St. Clair Catholic District School Board and the Lambton Kent District School Board have both released their annual “Sunshine List” of those earning over $100,000.
Superintendent of Education Joy Badder topped the list for the Lambton Kent District School Board, making $229,494.15 in 2016, while Director of Education Jim Costello took home $205,075.52.
Other notable earners in the school board include Superintendent of Business Brian McKay who earned $159,219.06 last year, and Superintendent of Education David Doey who made $159,968.64.
The number of LKDSB employees earning over $100,000 increased last year to 149 from 141 in 2015.
And for the St. Clair Catholic District School Board, Director of Education Daniel Parr earned the most in 2016 at $206,000.08, followed by Associate Director of Corporate Services James McKenzie who made $202,553.
Superintendents of education Deborah Crawford and Frank Leddy both pulled in $176,133.10, while Superintendent of Education Laura Callaghan earned $167,526.88.
The number of SCCDSB staff members on the Sunshine List dropped significantly from 116 in 2015 to 80 in 2016. Director Dan Parr says that's the result of a couple of additional weeks being reported in 2015 due to a calendar anomaly.
