I live in the metropolitan NY area, and I read in today's paper what I already knew - that the average school superintendent makes close to $300,000 per year. What is left unsaid is that the numerous administrative positions (and there is a virtual army of them in every school building, and yes, they have their own union) make about $150,000 per year (excluding benefits, of course).
The highest paid teachers, after working decades on the job in the same district make less than that.
Let's blame everything on those damned overpaid teachers who actually teach the kids. It takes the heat off all the brass who are their bosses.
