What does the Principal and school Superintendent make???

[Vigilanteman]

Here in SW PA, $70K salaries are not unusual and $60K is about par for the course for a nine month a year job. There are few, if any, in the admin field who make less than $100K annually.

Substitutes only make $100 or so per day. Guess where it is easiest to find a job in teaching?

All the money goes to administration. My elementary school had a principal and a secretary. My Jr. High and High schools had Principal, 3 secretaries, and a boys and girls dean.

My daughter’s elementary school had a principal, 4 vice principals, and 6 secretaries. Then there is the school district administrators...

Never mind them. It’s the football coaches that rake in the dough.

Here in Texas - it’s easy to pull in over 100,000 a year. While teachers maybe get 50-60 thousand.

And all the apes, snakes, and orangutans in the “administrative hierarchy” that “supports” the teachers? Union dues? What do they make? NEA lobbying? What do they make?

Privatize the schools, hire and pay teachers for merit.

BINGO

That is the issue in my opinion. Administration is paid unreal salaries in most districts. In many schools there are several vice principals and other important folks that get large salaries. Most are invisible if you try to reach them, and students never seem to see them so not even sure what work they are busy doing to earn those salaries.

When I was in school we always knew the principal well, he seemed to be everywhere- walking the school, making a point to know the students, keeping up with what was going on on campus- popping in a classroom to observe for a few minutes or longer. The principal made sure teachers, cafeteria staff, and maintenance people had what they needed and did their jobs and the school ran smoothly. The principals used to be paid just a little more than teachers and were earning their money. Everyone used to know what the principle did, now they are usually paid far more and no one knows what they are doing.

Teachers need to be well paid, then we can demand great teachers.
