$188,000 a year to coach high school basketball. Montgomery County must have a booming town.

 

Where in the world did that number come from? I'm hoping that it is their combined salary.

My understand is the KDE is already looking into Happy's Hiring.

 

This is certainly interesting. The superintendent has been challenged regarding many of his firings, but this would be a new angle.

If Happy is making that much (or in combination with his wife). How much is the Superintendent making? I would be seriously surprised that he would make that much and not have the teaching background and certifications.

 

Plus all of the Title IX issues that this could present that The Professor mentioned.

Coaching stipends for each can be same with difference coming in the salary in their teaching/administration position.

 

That would not necessarily be a Title IX violation

Good Luck Happy.......you are going to need it!!!!

The Superintendent signed a 4 year deal for $100,000/year.

As coach, will Happy have to teach?

As coach, will Happy have to teach?

 

Most high level coaches don't. I think it would be safe to assume that he will not be teaching any classes.

As coach, will Happy have to teach?

 

Yes, he will be teaching "how to take your check to the bank" class.

There is a story coming out soon about what went on at Gtown. Stay tuned...

 

So has this story broken or what?

I'm guessing he only gets a small amount for the coaching title. However he probably will have several other titles to help boost revenue.

This just in, Happy was spotted last Friday at the local bank giving is first lesson of the year!

More misinformation from the source. They are state employees and their salaries are public information. They were both hired on the teacher's pay scale which takes into consideration their rank and years of service plus and extra duty stipends such as coaching, department heads, etc. The $188k makes for more juicy gossip than the mid $60k salary that he really gets.

I am hearing outside donors such as car dealers may be supplementing the income.

Is Frank Shoop still taking care of him? Those 10 year old used Oldsmobiles he leased in Gtown were a big recruiting tool.
