The Editor,
Re. “$10M jump in pay for SD43 last year” (The Tri-City News, Nov. 16).
I refer to the story in The Tri-City News that covered the top pay list for School District 43. Is it any wonder the school districts are asked to trim their budgets each year? Seriously, these salaries are a simply exorbitant. The trustees, who I believe add more value than the salaried staff, receive a paltry $30,000 to $40,000 a year.
In addition to their salaries, I think the public has a right to see the key, measurable deliverables for these super-salaried SD43 heads — and the scoresheet associated with each. If their documented deliverables are even half measurable, I would be surprised. They are probably so nebulous, they are near impossible to measure.
Either way, I’ll bet they don’t meet them but still get their salary. This is public money — they need to be truly and transparently accountable.
