I don't think moving from an ES principal to a MS principal is considered a "promotion"--just a job switch.

It’s more responsibility and typically more kids. Is the pay higher to reflect this?

ES and MS principals are paid the same now. Some elementary schools are almost as big as a middle school, and ES principals were tired of getting less pay for the same work. While a MS principal may have more students, they also have more administrators on their team.

WE have two AP's that both do little. One causes trouble with hard working staff the other sits in their office in la la land. Both get paid more than teachers....they can't even jump in when we are short staffed. Why...."meetings".

This and the teacher shortage is getting worse each year.

FCPS hiring a few chiefs has literally nothing to do with a teacher shortage. Their salaries are drops in the large bucket of the FCPS budget. Teachers who are upset about their salaries need to go after the real issue! a lack of funding from the state and county.

Or, start getting rid of wasteful programming that the community demands but is unnecessary:

1) AAP centers
2) AAP center transportation
3) the entire DEI department
4) the Get2Green staff

Teachers are done fighting it's been many years of it. Dr. Reid is supposed to be the answer right....well her and her chief of staffs can go after it for teachers. They seem to have the time in Gatehouse and they get paid way more.

Why did Reid add so many chiefs? And she didn’t get rid of those underneath the new chiefs. And she added new positions like “special projects manager” for some (all?) of the chiefs. One of the people mentioned upthread who was arrested seems to be in one of these positions. All of this demonstrates a lack of attention to the needs at the school level. Sending those central office people back to the schools won’t solve the teacher shortage but it would help morale by showing teachers that Reid gets it and it would cut down on the extra BS that all the central office staff concoct for teachers to do.

Sorry, but no. As a teacher I could care less if she has a few chiefs. What I care about is my salary keeping pace with the cost of living. Dr. Reid sending an email saying “I have redeployed 7 individuals from Gatehouse to schools” does LITERALLY NOTHING for me, nor do 7 positions do much for schools.
