Following Christie’s divisive and largely unsuccessful push for a voluntary teacher pay freeze, the administrator plan strikes at populist territory that has long infuriated taxpayers. A recent Star-Ledger review found six-figure salaries are common among administrators, with 235 of them earning more than the governor’s $175,000 salary in the 2008-09 school year.

(These dopes are making MORE than the Governor!)

What's being proposed:

Proposed pay limits for school administrators

School enrollment (students)/maximum pay(superintendent)

up to 250 / $120,000

251 - 750 / $135,000

751 - 1,500 / $150,000

1,501 - 3,000 / $165,000

3,001 - 10,000 / $175,000

More than 10,000 / to be determined by the Department of Education

The more I read about Gov. Christie, the more I like him!

Base pay on merit?! Why, that’s, that’s, preposterous!

The people of New Jersey should get down on their knees daily and thank God for giving them Gov Christie. That man is literally going to save the state from bankruptcy.

Is there a New Jersey ping list?

If so, maybe someone wants to ping them on this.

It’s good news for a change.

FINALLY, someone with a brain in a position of authority in New Jersey. Take the “management team” in schools (those above the title of “teacher” back to what was in place in 1980 or any other year before things got so out of hand and two things will happen: (a) Substantial savings and (b) improved results as the left hand remembers where the right hand resides.

Rock on, Governor Christie!

Not to be a wet blanket, but doesn’t this mean that more students will be passed with artificially high grades so the “merit” can be demonstrated for the higher pay?
