YouTube video parodies Fort Bend ISD's superintendent, criticizes district's budget decisions | abc13.com
The clip is called called "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp (Superintendent)." It's an arguably humorous public response to a very serious statewide problem.
Many administrator's salaries are higher than those of starting professional athletes as class sizes rise, good teachers get laid off and parents are worried about the quality of their child's education.
No one is saying that better jobs shouldn't pay better salaries. But paying over $300,000 for any employee that takes in state, federal and local tax dollars is absurd.
By way of comparison, the highest paying salary at Social Security Administration`s office in Houston is paid to the Administrative Law Judge Wc making $158,500 per year, while the lowest paying salary is paid to the Administration Office Support Student Trainee at $26,639 per year.
No regulation on local school boards leads to a shameful waste of taxpayer money. Right now the Texas state legislature is considering taking away every safeguard that teachers have to protect their jobs. If the legislature has their way, teachers and other non administration school employees will basically end up with the same contracts as at will employees or as those on probation. Let's put two and two together. Almost no oversight on school boards, superintendents and administrative positions, no rights for the middle class worker or the thousands working in public industries, no collective bargaining. This is Rick Perry's Texas. This is "fiscal responsibility".
This was so funny, I couldn't stop laughing. Such truth in humor!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking if another overpaid Administrator?Do you know that I was shocked to find out that one of the highest paid Superintendents in the State are in the Valley? Apparently, the Superintendent at Weslaco ISD, , an impoverished district by Houston standards, is paid more then our own Alton Frailey?? That's an abomination.
