[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]PE teachers are paid[b] tens of thousands of dollars [/b]more than physics and calculus teachers.

I assume the difference in pay is [b]because of coaching?[/b] [/quote]

Could you provide a link to this information, please?

And are you saying that individual PE teachers are making tens of thousands of dollars more than individual physics and calculus teachers? Or are you saying that all the salaries of all the PE teachers added up total tens of thousands of dollars more than the added up salaries of physics and calculus teachers? It would be interesting to see the figures for the salaries referred to here.

Anyone know of a source for this information?

Sorry.  It should have said "thousands" NOT "tens of thousands".  My bad!  It is all available online.

The HS head football coach is the highest paid coach, earning more money than all of the other sports' coaches.  I find it interesting that the next three highest paid coaches are all for girls sports and that the assistant football coach makes more than the basketball, soccer and other sports head coaches.  Why are they paying so much more for football coaches?

I think the elephant in the room is how much the school district is putting out for the one on one aides for special needs students who are mainstreamed.  While on one hand I understand the importance of providing kids with the least restrictive learning environment, I also can't help but think that having one on one aides for mainstream students must be a financial burden for the district.  When you add in taxes and benefits paid by the employer, even the lowest paid aids are an enormous cost for providing benefit for only one student.

We have lived in other states where they have more of a one aide to three-five students for the inclusion kids, and they were all immersed in mostly the same classes so the aide was shared.

Does fcps have this option?
