I'm a teacher and I've thought about running for the board. We have teachers who are fairly active in the PTA, but I don't know of any who have ever been on the board.

When this happens I always wonder, did the persom tkaing the money give ALL og it, or keep a little for themselves? At our school, these donations can easily top $200 per parent. I stopped with the group gifts. Not everyone participates.

Wow, I did these collections for years for my kids' teachers and coaches and bought gift cards and flowers or a plant and cards and pretty wrapping, so I'm somewhat insulted that someone might think I might have kept any of the money! If anything, I frequently paid out extra for people who said they would give me their share "later" which, of course, they never did.

Super. Very helpful.
I went to FFX Underground and scrolled back through 6/14 and don't see it.

I do see that a teacher, at the top of the scale with a PhD (standard 194 day contract), makes $98,920.

So the number of teachers making six figures can't be many.

FFX underground has a helpful function called "search"

Try it with "Outlandish FCPS Salaries"

Of course, if you know to search that title.

I still don't see any TEACHERS on that list making 6 figures.

All of this is ridiculous. I taught for 10 years and we never had anything like this for teacher appreciation week. I believe our secretaries were in charge and used the school money to purchase some teaching supplies (think markers etc) to be put in our boxes for everyday of the week. Also note that we had one regular parent volunteer for the whole school (seriously) and a virtually nonexistent PTA. From a teacher's stand point, it was wonderful. No pushy annoying parents with nothing better to do than hanging around the school all day coming up with all this crap.
I had no idea all this even existed until we moved.

And the problem is? We think nothing of athletes and entertainers making huge amounts of money, but begrudge teachers earning high salaries. Crazy!
