Not hard to understand why there might be a bit of a budget problem.

What do you think the Superintendent should make? $100k isn't all that anymore, especially for speciality jobs in high COL areas.

Is he considered part of those "greedy rich" because he makes more than 250K a year ?

I think a half a million is still considered "all that."

The $100K was referring to the "other employees"

Is that HER fault? People don't get paid based on how hard you think thier job is. Some Dr's aren't worth anything.
$500K is a lot of money, I won't lie, but there are many people making that in other industries as well.

Your point? Sounds like deflection to me.

I think school superintendents make an obscene amount of money when you think what teachers make. Then they want to have the tax payer pay even more to schools. I don't see the teachers getting any of it.
