[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But the higher ups have all the money to pay themselves, but can’t give teachers their salary steps. ‘Superintendent Monifa McKnight topped the list with a $320,000 salary—an increase of $25,000 from her salary as interim superintendent the previous year. McKnight is also entitled to receive $48,000 a year in deferred compensation, according to her contract, and may receive additional salary raises pursuant to annual performance reviews by the school board.’ It’s disgusting and parents need to question how their taxpayer dollars are spent.

Why is that disgusting? That seems like a salary in line with superintendents elsewhere and is what I would expect a chief executive of a major organization to earn. [/quote]

It's disgusting because these complainers think that all MCPS superintendents get paid too much, and that goes extra when the superintendent belongs to two groups where historically some people believed it was ok to pay them less for the same work.

In reality, though, the MCPS superintendent is in charge of a $3.1 billion operating budget and 25,000 employees - and the complainers think a $320,000 salary is too much.[/quote]
