And they get summers off! More than 100 New York educators outside the Big Apple raked in salaries over $300,000 this year — while nearly twice as many made more than the governor, a shocking new study found. At least 114 educators made the six-figure sum in the 2025-2026 school year, a nearly 30% increase from the 90 who made that much across 2024 and 2025, according to a study the Empire Center released Tuesday. 3 The Great Neck UFSD had some of the highest administrator salaries in New York outside of the city.
