@theguru rejoices!

 

I am happy about it Deuce.  I listened to him during the "COVID meetings" and I have ZERO confidence in him.  However, I am not optimistic about his replacement either, it will probably be someone similarly incompetent.

Him being gone is a a good thing, IMO. 

I agree, his replacement will be interesting. I know there are capable people out there.

What a shame to see this BLOATED $350,000 salary (just after his Board giving him a $75,000 raise) going away.  Now that still leaves 5 direct reports all making $198,000 along with 25 secondary reports all making over $170,000.  How could our public school system in Jefferson Co. become so top heavy that critical resources so vital to educating our youth are so blatantly misdirected?….1,050 non-classroom (so called administrators) staff making over $110,000.  This top-heavy bloating is where Ky public school failures needs immediate and drastic attention.  Too many “go along, not knowing better” mentalities of local school board members and a top-down critical review performed by some entity (Pritchard Committee perhaps) similar to their work in the 90’s.

Can you elaborate on specifically why those individuals shouldn’t make those salaries?

I can't speak to this specific situation, but generally, there's a tendency to apply a sort of "public sector tax," where people feel that salaries don't align with the talents or services provided. For example, JCPS has over 18,000 employees. If you were hiring a CEO to manage a company of that size, their compensation would likely be much higher. I know it's not a direct comparison, and I'm not defending the salary in question, just making a general observation.
