Maybe not all of them, but the majority are, that is a factual.
Here is the most recent pay schedule that show what admins/principals at the school make. For some reason, they left their pay scale off the last few years... but it doesnt really matter because we know they have not increased this since then.

The first index that breaks $100k is the 1.61 and thats being a high school principal for 25+ years.

We have an assistant principal whose sole job is to sit in 504 and IEP meetings and make sure the school is in compliance. That’s it. It’s a full time job.
We need a total overhaul of the 504 and IEP program. Too many kids are in them.

Viable path.stop step raises and go completely merit based on student improvement and test scores.
I used to think this and in a perfect world this is the way.
But I do not doubt for a second that students would purposely bomb these tests to hurt their teachers.

This. I don’t support systems that lack merit-based pay where employees are basically immune from termination for incompetence.

Yet some superintendents make up to $300,000 annual salary. Makes no sense.

Uh huh…… The question is, who keeps voting for and putting the people in office who create the credibility problem writ large?

Everything about your post is incorrect or uneducated. Which isn’t surprising because the adults in this world are 98% of the problems we deal with in schools.

Maybe when looking at that W2, your wife should ask why Livingston parish has been able to allocate about 25million dollars to building new sports facilities in the last few years? Why every school has at least 4 assistant principals, all making 6 figures a year, while rank and file teachers are making half that? Why the LPPS central office needs 200 employees with most of the higher ranks all related to the same 3 or 4 last names and all making over 6 figures?
Yea, I know it’s crazy. Why did CLK need the contract he got with all the assistants and all the NIL money? We could put that towards education right? It’s as if this is on a larger scale, as in the whole state and not just LP.

As soon as the state and federal eliminate 75% of unneeded paperwork, your theory would work. Those on the outside have no clue!

We can agree there is waste in the system and that the results that we want aren’t happening, but these 3 points aren’t correct. You don’t need to be hyperbolic to actually discuss and issue.
They do have cake jobs compared to many other professions, and they do indeed get a ton of time off.

The lottery revenue was supposed to be all about education. LOL.
Louisiana already has the highest combined state and local sales tax rate in the nation. That means every single state that ranks above Louisiana in education has lower sales tax rates. They obviously have larger tax bases and a better ratio of contributors vs people genuinely in need. Working it from that angle seems to be the answer.

It’s a 182 contract, it doesn’t matter when the holidays or summer falls. Know the facts!

Isnt that schedule just the base? I dont believe it takes into account the different step and tiers used to decide principal salaries. Regardless, we're getting in the weeds. The point was that the school system prioritizes teachers low and your ire should be more on them than voters who dont want more taxes.

I understand why nobody wants their taxes raised for any reason right now.
Correct…..
When you see $4 / gallon gas at every gas station, that’s not the time to ask for a tax increase….

Its really not, maybe a little hyperbolic, I'll admit to that.

Based on what criteria/metrics - test scores?
You do realize that some educators get classes full of students that give ZERO fricks and don't even try, right?
