Philadelphia School Bosses Make Big Bucks
The always excellent Commonwealth Foundation published last month the first issue of Commonwealth Commentary, an old-fashioned, dead-tree newsletter.
Featured was an article by Maura Pennington describing how the Philly school bosses make big bucks despite the district being broke and crying for more money.
Ms. Pennington notes that Philadelphia School Superintendent William Hite pulls in $270,000 (not counting benefits) and his deputy makes $210,000.
Contrast that to the $175,000 salary pulled down by Gov. Tom Corbett.
Ms. Pennington reports that eight assistant superintendents make $145,000 each and the district’s budget director makes $128,724.
All told, 395 employees — about the size of a typical suburban graduating class — make over $100,000.
Again, not counting benefits.
The real reason that school vouchers and charter schools are opposed by these educational establishment is not because they are ineffective but because they will derail the gravy train.
The cost of a charter school is about 60 percent of that of a public school.
