There salaries are outrageous.
What makes it even worse is when they fail, and they all do, we find out their contract has a multi-million dollar buy-out claus with benefits.
The only ‘problem’ w/ “public” education is the Socialism.
Remove all general populace theft & make those utilizing the service pay, *DIRECTLY*, and you’ll see a SLUE of ‘problems’ disappear overnight.
What are they freaking running IBM!?!!
Being from NYC, I EXPECTED to see NYC area schools listed.
This is TX!!!
Someone round em up and get rid of em!!
Ten years ago there were none of the Superintendents of the 15 School District in my Pennsylvania County who were making LESS than the $134,000.00 salary of the Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police.
None of the Superintendents supervised 4000+ armed employees in 84 stations.
There’s a lot wrong with this picture!
Public education has too many positions in the board offices. Too many experts telling me how to teach, but they have less experience and less credentials.
Too much micromanagement too.
Heh.
Next they need to do a story on the salaries the school football coaches make.
That’ll frost your cookies, for sure!
Well, in most states the highest paid state worker is a football coach. Here in Kentucky it’s a basketball coach.
Here are the salaries of the head high school football coaches at every 5A and 6A school in Texas. Austin Lake Travis coach Hank Carter is the highest-paid coach in the state, with an annual salary of $155,156. Twenty-eight coaches earn $120,000 or more, including five whose earnings top $130,000.

Broward Superintendent Robert Runcie will get a $28,000 raise and additional benefits under a contract approved by the School Board on Tuesday. The deal brings Runcie’s salary to $335,000 and extends his employment through June 30, 2023.
Shameful -Runcie - responsible for the lax discipline that enabled Nicolas Cruz to commit mass murder at a Broward school- Marjory Stoneman Douglas.
Runcie school super. makes nearly more than the Florida Gov, SOS, & Lt. Gov. combined.
Florida SOS-........................................... $140,000
Governor of Florida Scott / DeSantis ..............$130,273
Lt. Governor of Florida Cantera ................... $124,851
bkmk
The same pool of people keep transferring to different districts with massive salaries and then the negotiated buy-outs with benefits.
I remember former UConn Men’s basketball coach getting pissed at a reporter for asking him what he thinks about being the highest paid employee of the state.

The education-industrial complex is an absolutely massive bubble - fed by massing spending and massive debt from both government and students
It needs to be popped
All of them are absurdly overpaid.
That angers me as much as seeing any bureaucrat getting paid obscene salaries at partly my expense.
They have so much money they are wasting it.
And the education is getting worse.
“In terms of straight salary, school superintendents are among the highest paid public servants in the state. Sitting atop that group is the head honcho of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (ISD). He took home a whopping $406,484 for the 2017-18 school year.”
This travesty exists because so-called conservatives refuse to get off their fat, useless butts and attend schoolboard meetings to challenge this crap. Fake conservatives seem to enjoy getting their faces stepped on and ground into the concrete because I see little to no resistance.
If so-called conservatives were serious about protecting their families and children against leftists schoolboards, there would be a minimum of 1,000 conservatives at schoolboard meetings, screaming and threatening to beat the snot out of them.
We are at war, and I truly believe that Mammon-worshipping “conservatives” don’t get it.
I am proud to say that I went to a one-room schoolhouse in NE Kansas.
Our Teacher, Mrs. Bell stoked the stove in winter, cleaned the room year-round, rang the bell in the belfry, produced and directed the CHRISTmas program and kept the impressive library in perfect order.
She didn’t do bathrooms, however...they were one-holers down at the edge of the school property and didn’t require much attention.
Our superintendent, Mr. Swoboda came round once every two years or so in his own car. I believe he had one clerk for the entire school district which was one county in size...
And I grew up to be a nuclear physicist.
Produced before WWII, it had everything you needed for a U.S. High School education: three European languages, Greek, Latin, Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Trigonometry, European/U.S. History, Zoology, Botany, Chemistry, Civicsand perhaps other subjects I've forgotten. Maybe you were expected to be accomplished in English grammar before entering High SchoolIDK.
Oh yes...Physics... (Which started my rant!)
