[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is absolutely NOT a promotion. Anyone who thinks this is a promotion is greatly misinformed. [/quote]

Yeah, this is a demotion. I’m not saying he shouldn’t have been fired. But anyone who is saying this is a promotion is wrong.

Anyone can look up the job descriptions. The position he is taking is on the unified salary schedule C, grade 5. The highest step is 20 with a pay of $202K.

A secondary high school principal is on the school-based administrator scale. The highest step is 20 with a pay of $226K. [/quote]

This was a promotion and pay raise. This is 2 years old but 2 years ago was at $171 (so at a minimum add in the 6% from this year and then whatever increase was year before): https://govsalaries.com/thompson-darin-a-177368986

Job description for Senior Administrator of Nontraditional School Programs is $132 to $201k with least experience being 6 years so he’d be at higher end: https://www.indeed.com/m/viewjob?jk=a1d52566a76042b2

Interim SA of Nontrad school was Deirdre Lavern who was a HS principal in 2019 at $172k back then: https://govsalaries.com/lavery-deirdre-m-108807952 [/quote]

Damn. The lack of basic research skills is astounding. So instead of just pulling random items, maybe actually look at the actual scales from FCPS. The position he is taking is called “Senior Administrator Non Traditional School Programs.” Its job code is 01215:

Here is the 2026 unified salary scale.

Scroll over to schedule C, column 005 which is designated for the Senior Administrator Non Traditional School program:

Here is the pay scale for administrators. Scroll over to a secondary high school principal:

https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/pdf/fy26-school-based-administrator.pdf

Please tell me again how he is getting a promotion and making more money than as a secondary high school principal. Break it down for me using actually pay scales from 2025-26.

Those new links say the same as the old - the new job scale is 130-200, he was at 170+. I don’t actually think anyone cares if promoted or demoted or what salary getting- I think most who are mad are mad that he’s moving on without any consequences and killing time until pension vests.[/quote]
