Why two superintendents?

Posted in: PATA
Somebody wrote a letter to the editor before this past election about reasons to vote against the school levy, and in it he asked why the schools currently have two superintendents. I also would like to know the answer to the question.

According to the papers, the new superintendent is making $144,000 a year, which breaks down to $12,000 a month, plus benefits.

The same articles mention that the old(?) superintendent is making $140,000 a year, which breaks down to $11,667 a month, plus benefits.

Is he still making his same salary?

Isn't the school district paying out millions in teacher and administrator benefits? Isn't it going up again next year?

If our school district is so cash-strapped, how can we afford to have two superintendents at the same time?

Or is the board wasting our money again?

What I've read...

Dr. Thiede is under contract until the end of June. By law, he needs to stay until June 30th.

It sounded like from what I read that once the Board made a choice, they wanted her to start ASAP so the District could move forward. Papers also stated earlier that there was a position - Director of Curriculum & Human Resources that has been open since January - still have not seen news on it being filled so there is some savings from that position being open 5+ months.
Thanks Lisa

You're again right on top of this site. You must like it on top.
Afraid of facts?

Not Lisa. Interesting that you think facts that aren't slamming the school district must come from a Board Member. There are a lot of people in Pickerington happy with the education their kids are getting & the value of that education.

Once again, posters on this site can't have ONE string that isn't slamming someone.

You guys are amazing.
