[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good for Hogan.  There is so much waste in MCPS.

Start with layoffs at the Carver Center to make up for the budget shortfall.  [b]Is Starr really worth what he is paid?[/b]  Do we really need to spend so much money "investigating"  the school start time debate?  What about the BOE Credit Card fiasco?  Etc.  MCPS is an over bloated bureaucracy that has room for fiscal scrutiny.  Is Starr up for the task to trimming costs? Heck no.  He should be the first on the chopping block.[/quote]

Starr is in charge of a school district with 153,000 students, 202 schools, 22,392 employees (including 12,698 teachers), a $2.28 billion operating budget, and a $1.53 billion six-year capital budget. Plus the weather closing decisions. For this, he gets paid $250,000 per year. Do you consider this salary inappropriate?

(For what it's worth, I wouldn't do the job for less than $500,000 a year, just because of the inevitable complaining about the weather closing decisions.)

What's more, his entire salary makes up 1% of the $17 million less that MCPS will get from the state under Hogan's proposed budget, and 0.01% of the annual operating budget.[/quote]

I agree.  The salary is fine.

Starr, however, is an idiot and must go.  I'd even agree to a pay increase for a supt who actually HAD a vision and could follow through on practical initiatives.[/quote]
