^I hope you are not referring to me. Disagreeing with a leader taking a bonus after telling us there was no money for us to get our cost of living increase and instead taking a paycut means that I disagree with his decision, not that I am disgruntled and hate my job as some bottom line worker. Far from it. I am a central office staff member who does alright. I like my boss and our superintendent truth be told. I think compared to the others in the area he is fairly compensated considering the size of our district and the far higher test scores we generate than all other public schools in the area. I just feel that he made a poor decision in taking this bonus, knowing that all of his employees are going without. I think he would have engendered much better feelings with the rest of the staff of the district if he had graciously declined the board and "suffered" along with the rest of us. Now whenever a teacher mentions that they are unable to buy basic supplies for class, the bonus is cited as a contributing factor.

School's top pay outpaces growth
OCT 25, 2009

Quote :

"In June 2006, the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics' Board of Trustees approved $31,150 in raises for Chancellor Gerald Boarman for the upcoming fiscal year. The pay increases pushed Boarman's annual salary at the elite high school to $230,050 -- better than chancellors at six state universities in North Carolina. Brock Winslow, a graduate of the school and former aide to Gov. Jim Hunt, was then the board's chairman. The next February, Boarman asked him to be the interim vice chancellor for institutional advancement, a job he won outright four months later. He is now making $105,000 annually. Winslow said he had no idea that he would move to a six-figure school job when he helped increase Boarman's pay by 16 percent. But the boost in fortunes to both men fits a pattern of inside moves that has troubled critics and raised questions about the school's management costs. In five years, the school's administrative costs grew nearly $1.1million, or 46 percent, records show. That's faster than the 36 percent overall growth in the school's budget, and slightly more than the growth in academic costs during that time. The school has added 70 students during that period, and 24 teachers. But it has added only two administrators. Much of the increased administrative expense is in pay raises."
