New Jersey school administrators make triple digits and are fighting Christie who wants to reduce their salary. There is no reason for them to make so much money. Throwing money at schools doesn't improve education, even when the students get the benefit of the money. However, most of the time it just goes to administrators. The states could probably fix all of their budget woes by fixing education spending.
I saw some documentary that NJ has some ridiculous number of school districts which each require a superintendent with high pay of course.

Yes. There are about about 566 municipalities in NJ, which is one of the smallest states in the country. Most have their own grammar school, middle school, high school and school board. The schools have multiple layers of vice principals, principals, assistant administrators and other job titles with a paycheck. I think the highest I've seen was pushing 300K. It pays to be corrupt in this state. If anything, education needs less money. I think this would actually improve schools because they would go back to basic learning skills and cut out all of the people who are there for a fat paycheck and leave the people who actually want to help kids learn.
Having worked in public education for the past 18 years, I can say with confidence that the administrators who decide how education dollars will be spent will always decide to spend that money on themselves.
Classrooms are near the bottom of their priority list.
Wonder why there is never any money for the "kids"?? This is a good example. And this woman stepped down protesting budget cuts. She ran up half a trillion in deficits in her three year spending spree. Unbelievable. To top it all she applies for unemployment right after stepping down. One taste of the teet is all that's needed.
Ackerman was the highest paid government official in Philadelphia during her three-year stay with the school district, which is run by the state, the station reported.
Her weekly salary was $6,669 and her annual salary $346,000, according to records obtained by the station.
Ackerman and the School Reform Commission agreed to part ways in August -- with Ackerman getting $905,000 plus funds and pay for vacation and leave days.
Guess you are one of those failures, try looking at the title of your thread and tells us what is wrong with it. Clue from sesame street, there is something that does not belong.
