[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bethesda Magazine has printed the salaries of the top wage earners in the school district.

Question: Why do we need two chief academic officers: Ms. Niki Hazel Porter and Dr. Peggy Pugh?[/quote]

Salaries don’t seem that high to be honest.  I don’t think I’d take a job as a principal for ~190k.[/quote]

Yeah seriously.  My kid’s HS has 2500 kids.  That’s a very low salary to deal with all the daily chaos that thousands of teenagers and their helicopter parents bring.  [/quote]

Wrong way to look at it. There are APs and counselors too. You have to look at the total staffing vs the population and their needs.[/quote]

Sure. But at the end of the day, it is the principal who is held accountable for anything that happens to all of those kids, not the APs or the counselors.

The principal job is absolutely insane and untenable as it's currently structured, in my opinion. That's why it's hard to find good principals, because who wants a job that's pretty much on-call 24/7, highly political, highly visible and fraught with the worst constraints of middle management from a population with high expectations?[/quote]
