reviewed_at is the date of a source-terms review recorded in our files. Null means no dated review is recorded; the reason says whether the terms have been read.

The files include role-level salary averages and leadership salaries (superintendent, assistant superintendent, business administrator, principal), flagged when a figure describes one position. They include no named individuals, and other one-person salaries are withheld. Values are shown as each agency published them. A withheld figure carries a reason and never a number.
