One last thought, if you don't mind. IMO this instance is not the same as free market/enterprise. This is government where elected officials are to be fiscally prudent with taxpayers money. In the free market, it is privately held money being spent on salaries and other expenditures. IMO we’re not comparing the same thing.
Nice attempt at deflection, however.

But SBs all over the country are setting the price for Supers. It is a free market that is based on supply and demand. The pool of people that can be Supers is small thusly they can command a high price. If a SB on the North Shore thinks a Super is deserving of 300k then that affects everyone else.
So would you work below what you are worth? So why should people who qualify as Superintendents
Would you hire a person on the cheap that makes decisions of educating your kids? To bad we can't find a illegal alien to do the job, we can save lots of money that way.
And public companies have have Board of Directors who look out for all share holders and are responsible for the corporations to be fiscally prudent. . They determine who should be CEO and how much he gets paid. They are elected by the shareholders much in the same way we elect the SB.

I understand the free market bit very well, But I wonder if they could not try kicking the amount down several notches to start with....One might be surprised at the result IMHO.
Now they may already do that and I we don't hear about it.....Does anyone know what our SB is considering for a starting point for the new super here?

If we go with someone with less experience then they should be willing to take a bit under average (which we are paying now).
But who are from that pool would want to manage a 28k student district. This is a problem that the state might have to consider. With a SD this larger the role as Super is more like a CEO than a traditional Super role. I would be for opening the laws for Super Qualification so that a good business man could be consider for this role.

Ann, I fail to see this as a defining ststement of bob, I believe that was said entirely in jest.

Hey Ann, it is called sarcasm. It is used a lot on this board. Maybe you should try and get the feel for the board before a newbie like you starts posting.

I've heard a lot of people minimize the Super salary issue with comments about CEO's salaries, but CEO's salaries aren't paid by my real estate taxes. I don't have to buy their products. I have to pay my real estate taxes. I think bringing up CEO's salaries is just fogging the issue.

But you don't have to pay 204 taxes, you can always move to a lesser taxed SD just like you don't have buy their product. |
