LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Legislators are discussing how much money school superintendents in Nebraska should make.  Introduced by Sen. Dave Murman, who represents south-central Nebraska, the Superintendent Pay Transparency Act would cap their salaries at five times the salary of a starting teacher.  'The president of the United Sates, if I'm correct, makes $400,000 a year,' Murman said. 'That is not a lot higher than the superintendent of Lincoln Public Schools.' Right now, LPS Superintendent Paul Gausman's base salary is $324,000 a year.
