Abstract

Past works have assessed the “ripple effects” of charter campuses on nearby traditional public schools, but none have explored these effects on local school district leadership variables such as superintendent salaries. We examine the initial impact of elementary school (K-8) charter school competition on the salaries of Arizona district superintendents during 1995–99. Using first-difference regressions, the 1995–97 results, while tentative, find a complex array of impacts, with charter competition reducing pay raises only for highly vulnerable superintendents. However, these nuanced salary changes are replaced during 1997–99 by larger, more uniform system-wide pay increases. Finally, 1995–99 results partly replicate those from 1995–97. Implications for assessing the responsiveness of school districts to charter competition are discussed. Copyright International Atlantic Economic Society 2015
