These payroll records come from the treasurer’s office, which obtains them from the Ohio Department of Education based on numbers reported by the schools themselves. It does not include overtime or benefits, so does not reflect gross pay.
The I-Team continues to gather payroll records for area governments and will update the database as records become available. If you have any recommendations or comments on the database, contact I-Team reporter Josh Sweigart at Josh.Sweigart@coxinc.com.
