The superintendent of Utica schools near Detroit is the highest paid K-12 administrator in the state, earning just under $301,000 a year. The Mackinac Center for Public Policy has released a searchable database comparing all of the superintendent's pay rates in the state, and spokesman Michael Van Beek said most districts have the information available, but no one had put all of it together.

The highest paid in Berrien County is Richard Weigel of Niles, who earns about $100,000 less than Rice at just over $182,000 a year.
