I believe this link is at least 1 year old, probably a cost of living figured in so these poor educators could afford to eat.

All public information, check out your district...

Something to keep in mind when the UEA comes on tv claiming they can't afford new books and petitions the legislature for additional funding.

I see us heading to the bin.(hope the 2 educators running this show don't ban me):peepwall:

I wonder how many of these people are teachers that have been teaching for less than 15 years, and how many of them are in "administration". Many charter schools are more succesful than public schools for less than half the cost. A lot of the cost is sadly at the administration level, and not as much at the actual educator level. Or at least this is what I have been educated by public educators :)

Good point disco, mine as well. When money is allocated to public education, what percentage goes to admin.?

Does the super. of a rural school district require $176,000 salary?

Sure why not? I don't even see that as an absurd salary really. Whats the salary of a similar job like at a college or private school level? The real problem is we are funding this without tax dollars. If we got rid of public education we wouldn't have this problem in the first place.

How So??

How So??

Because we are paying for it, so we have a right complain. If it was a CEO making money off a business no one would give it a second thought. If there were two private schools in the area and "the best one" was paying it's Super a nice salary no one would care. But because it's a crappy failing government project called the school system, it seems like a huge waste of our tax dollars. So that, my friend, is the root of the entire problem IMO.

It also says a lot of full time empolyees are making less than $30,000 a year and the median salary is around $40,000. How many educated people would work for that? I sure as heck wouldn't unless I really had to.

If there are bad teachers or educators, they should be fired. If they work hard and do a good job they should be rewared and $40,000 doesn't seem excessive to me.

My wife works for the Moffat County School District and makes $11.10 an hour as a crossing guard and lunchroom supervisor. We had 62 days below zero last winter (many of them in the -30's and -40s) and 69 days below zero the winter previous. School starts Monday and no apparently no one else is willing to do it since they can't hire anyone to do it. If there are any takers for stading outside at -40 for $11.10 an hour, feel free to apply.:wink: (PS, she likes her job and never complains about her salary).

Since when (decades ago?) is Washington County a rural school district? It would be interesting to compare salaries with this one to other heads of private industries that have 3249 employees.

Max Rose is awesome. I don't know if the other high paid employees deserve their saleries.

Teachers in Washington County max out at $58,617.

The salaries they are listing include benefits in their calculations. The benefits are certainly nice and make the "small" salary much more manageable but I don't know many people who calculate their benefits into the salary they tell people they earn? I know my wife and I couldn't get by if we were required to pay in for our benefits from the actual contracted salary I get. My personal listing on the site from the OP lists my "salary" as $22,000 more than what the contract I signed says my salary is. Also found that working lunch duty last year got me an extra $1,059...at $6.50 an hour :)

You might be surprised, but we could be on the same page---

Maybe if there wasn't so much administration, there would be more money for teachers...

As discgo and DC pointed out, these salaries probably wouldn't fly in the public sector schools.

This superintendent cut his salary and benefits to below a first year's teachers to save some programs from budget cuts. also did it without publicity the news media recently found out about it.

The teachers in my neighborhood appear to have received about a 35% increase in their saleries compared to the past 2 years. I guess that this is another group that doesn't apppear to be affected by the recession.
