[quote=Anonymous]His compensation is high, but I don't know that it is that out of bounds with the compensation for heads of other high profile independent schools, particularly in DC, who often get some combination of housing/car/club memberships* (*this last one seems weird but it is all about raising money).  Also, the "deferred compensation" thing is rather fuzzy -- it may be some sort of retirement-related or buyout package.  I do think it probably doesn't look great to have the club membership at Burning Tree, but if that's where Landon's big donors are, it's clearly meant to put the head of school where the donors are.

I'm not affiliated with Landon -- just somebody who has found the tale of the Landon lawsuit pretty interesting (first he says he was fired for whistleblowing about discrimination against Latinos, then he says he's forced out over the pay issue -- the second may undermine the first).  The info on the head's compensation could be 100% accurate but . . . litigants' press releases often spin things in ways that aren't necessarily conducive to common sense accuracy.  More info is necessary before I could buy that Landon is compensating its head way above market.[/quote]
