BAY MINETTE – Baldwin County Superintendent of Education Eddie Tyler became the second-highest paid public school superintendent in the state following action by the Board of Education.
The board voted Thursday, Jan. 21, to extend Tyler’s contract for another two years, to 2024 and increase his pay to $242,500 a year, up from $212,940.
Board Member Cecil Christenberry, who made the motion for the increase, said Tyler has made Baldwin an example for the rest of Alabama.
“I think he needs to be the highest paid superintendent in the state of Alabama,” Christenberry said. “Because when the school system of the state comes down and asks us how to do stuff, that makes us swell up.”

Alabama’s superintendents in Mobile and Baldwin counties are now the state’s two highest paid public school administrators.
The Baldwin County Commission on Thursday, with a 5-1 vote, increased Superintendent Eddie Tyler’s base salary by 14% from $212,940 to $242,500. The new contract also extends Tyler’s term of employment an additional two years from its prior expiration date of June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2024.
“I feel like we have the best,” said board president JaNay Dawson. “We should let him know we feel that way.”
