In our school district they announced with glee that two principals were promoted to administrative positions under the superintendent- which brings the total to three men who’s job it is to coordinate with the other district principals (nearly 30). So, it takes the Superintendent, 3 administrative positions, an Asst. Superintendent to manage 30 advanced degreed and highly paid professionals? This would kill any real business. With glee they also didn’t put the new cost to the taxpayers.
It is getting pathetic how they just layer it on with no thought as to how hard one has to work to pay for this. It’s all about job creation for the unionized mentality.
At any given hour of the school day there are 70 full time teachers with students in our local high school [and that doesn't include the additional special education teachers of which there are 40 at just the high school level]. But amazingly at any given hour of the day there are 90 full time teachers [90 out of 160] who are not in a classroom with students. Over half the teaching staff can be found in the teachers lounge or in empty rooms at any hour of every teaching day.
We here refer to the school as the Teachers Retirement Home. They don't retire from the school --- they retire to it and in it.
Needless to say the paper refused to print the letter. I'll bet if people checked they would find similar situations in their own school districts.
