Default Raise for Duval County School Superintendent

In today's news: Duval County School Superintendent Gets 73 Percent Pay Raise.
That's $275,000 in annual salary.

I don't know, thought Duval's public school system isn't doing THAT well. Think he deserved it?

obviously the answer is no, 275k is outrageous for the Duval system

I know we pay a lot less on average than the other comparable Florida cities, so that might have been our problem in the past (we're less competitive).

I too think $275k is outrageous - and that's just the salary - what's the entire package worth?? But if we don't compete, we don't have a shot at getting the top talent I guess.

Although I agree that the salary is way too high, I do feel that it's only right that he's making the same as the clown we just fired.
