[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those against transparency, I am sure you can enlighten us as to why Some charter leaders make exorbitant pay like $500k? Should public education be paying those kinds of salaries?[/quote]

Why should the CEO of any nonprofit make that kind of money? Many take public dollars and perform services on behalf of the government. [/quote]
If you mandate that leaders of non-profits can’t make more than say $200k then all the people who are qualified to effectively lead large organizations will take private sector jobs.  I make about $190k working from home with no staff to supervise, no budget to manage and no board to report to. I want someone way more qualifies than me managing billion dollar non-profits.

Large national or international non-profits are in a different league from a DC public charter school. Charter schools have such tight budgets and on average the teachers make far less than their DCPS counterparts, and in reality they're accountable only to the board. So no, a Principal or Head of School shouldn't have a salary of $300K+. Most of them aren't doing stellar jobs. Look at the test scores for some of these HRCs. The performance of some of these leaders is very poor yet they're not held accountable and parents have nowhere to go to demand better.[/quote]
