In his message on the City School District Home page Mr. Organisciak states:
As the economy continues to sink to even further depths, the status of our schools and our entire educational system must be preserved. Short sighted decisions to save a few precious dollars cannot be acceptable, if we see increased class sizes as a result. Budget cuts and tax caps which will reduce and even eliminate programs in the arts, career education, athletics and elective courses cannot be a solution if as a result we are mortgaging our childrens future. Shortening the school day or the school year, employee furloughs, charging fees for student participation in cherished activities or worthwhile projects limit the educational opportunities for all children.
Translation: Open up your wallets, hand over the cash and don’t ask questions, because if you do, it will hurt kids.
Conveniently enough, The Journal News recently chose to highlight the salaries of the employees of the City School District of New Rochelle for 2007. We truly wonder why? We look forward to seeing the most recent salaries of 2008 and comparing them while we weather the the greatest economic crisis of this generation. It’s “Season for Taking” every two weeks at City Hall.
Herman’s salary represents
Herman’s salary represents only a partial year of work I think — she is currently on maternity leave. Also she is one of the least senior principals, having served only about a year or two before having twins.
Principal Salaries
It is funny if you look at the elementary principal salaries and the Trinity Principal Herman made 52K less than the next principal of all the elementaries. I guess that has to do with seniority?
