(a) the first two paragraphs:

"Compensation for the heads of some elite private K-12 schools in New York City is nearing $1 million.

"Much in the city’s private school world can seem beyond the norm: the tuition and fees (topping $50,000 a year), the kindergarten application process (interviews for 4-year-olds), the facilities (climbing walls). And so too executive compensation that exceeds the pay of many college presidents.

(b) a photo caption: "At least nine heads of private K-21 schools in New York City, including Riverdale Country [in the photo], arn total packages topping $800,000.

My comment:
(a) The report is locked behind paywall. There is  no need to read the rest.
(b) I am not interested in pays. What intrigues me is quotation 1. A "climbing wall" refers to an indoor rock climbing wall.
