so claiming jury duty when you want to take a few days off is more profitable for the teacher than calling in with a 5 day bug? Hmm, sounds like the Buffalo teacher Botox type of benefit...

“Her total compensation for 2010-2011 was an incredible $130,657.76”

Not a paid wage for 9 months of work.

The Philly version of NYC’s UFT gets its teachers extra pay for jury duty?? In NYC and NYS you get the days, no more. In fact if any employer pays you for jury service the state denies any payment on its part. However if I’m called for duty in the summer or during a break, I get paid by the state. But extra pay?/ I’d sure like to see the rest of the PFT’s contract. maybe I taught in the wrong town.

That might expain all of the felon’s roaming free in Philly...

Her base salary was listed as $90,146.53 for the 2010-11 school year. But Pashak was able to supplement her base pay by a considerable amount. Her total compensation for 2010-2011 was an incredible $130,657

Damn, sounds like old Barbara Jo got that supplementing thing down pat!
Wonder if she teaches classes on how to do that?

What's worse...teachers make lousy jurors. They are some of the most gullible people on the planet.

The graduation rate in Philadelphia is 51%, lowest in the state of Pennsylvania ... must be Bush’s fault.

The city, county and state paid me $6 a day and the Feds
$40 for jury duty. I lost over $500 a day for being a good citizen.

Easily solved: require a note from court to get excused for the absence.
