The average salary in the district in 2024 was 3.4% higher than in 2023 and 5.9% more than in 2022. District administrators made 15% less than the state average of $119,384.
Administrator salaries depend on the district’s size, location, and resources, as well as the individual’s level of experience and education, according to the Illinois State Board of Education report.
In Illinois, school administrators are educational leaders who oversee the management and operations of schools and districts. This includes roles such as superintendents, assistant superintendents, principals, assistant principals, directors of special education, and chief school business officials.
These positions require a Professional Educator License (PEL) endorsed in an administrative field, which involves meeting specific educational and experiential criteria set by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE).
Bond County Community Unit School District 2 enrolled 1,517 students in the 2023-24 school year. This means there was an average of 140 students for every administrator, compared to the statewide ratio of 135 to 1.
Bond County Community Unit School District 2 roughly covers schools within Bond County and has a main office in Greenville.
District information was gathered from the Illinois Report Card.
The Illinois Educator Shortage Survey found more than 3,800 unfilled teaching positions in the 2024-25 school year, down 5.6% from the previous year.
