Two New Jersey educators who together make over $600,000 per year reportedly live 1,200 miles away in sunny Florida — which may be a violation of state law.
Teresa Segarra, the superintendent of Maria L. Varisco-Rogers Charter School in Newark, and her husband, Jose Segarra, the school’s business administrator, only make a few in-person visits to the school each year, anonymous sources told NJ.com.
The outlet reviewed voting and housing records showing the couple’s full-time address is actually Coral Gables, just outside of Miami.
The Segarras, both 79, rake in over $600,000 combined annually, making them two of the state’s highest paid educators.
Teresa Segarra is the state’s fourth highest paid superintendent, with a salary of $301,600. In 2023, though, she made a total of $323,636, according to NJ.com.
She is paid more than 600 other school district leaders statewide.
Jose Segarra earns $257,802 annually, which is more than all but 22 of the state’s school superintendents, NJ.com reported.
