Have you seen what they pay school superintendents these days, even in tiny districts?
Never mind the supers....principals are all 6 figures.
Our *award winning* school system in a town of about 30K had a problem passing the school budget b/c so few admins and teachers, that they had projected, were not retiring.
Now that children of employees can stay on the parent’s insurance until they’re 26.....employees are hanging in there longer.
Retired principals here, spend their time working in temp positions....making scale, for extended periods of time. Very lucrative for them.
