I always thought the Russell County job had/has potential. Being the only school in the city/county is a positive as it is much easier to get things done. However, Russell County district  with Boyle, Taylor, Wayne, and Lincoln is rough. If you do beat 3 of the 4 you get Corbin first round of playoffs.

At a quick glance, for a 10 year teacher at Rank 2, SW's district is actually around $300.00 more on the certified teacher salary schedule. I don't know Foley's certification credentials specifically but I thought that was a good gauge for salary comparison. I did not look up football money because that takes slightly more digging but It would be hard for me to imagine RC paying more than SW's district on the supplement side.

School systems, boosters, and parents can't get done whatever they want to get done in the grand scheme of things.

Agreed. But it would require those groups to actually do something substantially new to them and that is where I think the challenge lies. One horse towns can certainly move easier and faster making changes like these but is the desire among these groups truly there to go make these changes and spend the dough?

Russell Co. HFC stipend is 10,000. Which, off the top of my head, is maybe $500 more than SW’s/Pulaski.
