Summary: A new administrator position has been created in the district with a pay-scale that begins at well over $137,000. The positions pay would increase to approximately $170,000 over five steps. Other LA administrators are currently making close to $200,000.

Key Points: 1) Administrators are making a lot of money.

Relevance: It is absurd to me that a new admin. position can be created out of thin air with a starting salary four times as high as that of a teacher. Teachers are being let go and admin. is expanding?

  1. There is much to be discussed about the salary inequalities among each individual in the school district. I hear almost every week someone complaining about their salary. Admin's I agree make way too much compared to the budget that is set for specific schools. I really get upset that each school has set budgets. Then our school for example who serves both Middle school and elementary we still get paid as elementary wages. Teachers are upset about their salary, and IA's and other staff are very upset. Especially with min wage increasing I don't see the equity in the system.
