Do you really think a teacher only works 7.5 hours. My wife will go to work at 8 and not come home on some days until 5 and still works at home. If your going to publish hours worked maybe you should get you facts straight.
Hey Steve. We didn’t come up with that figure. It is the figure reported to the Ohio Department of Education by the school district.
Matt
Steve – you mean a professional who works extra hours at home? Say it ain’t so! I’ve never seen a more coddled bunch than union teachers!
Steve,
Your wife gets the summer off! Also, the teacher’s union has come up with the small class size scam. Less students = less work = more teachers = higher taxes. The workload has been reduced but the pay has not. I am tired of the scam, higher taxes, greedy and ungrateful teachers and parents. I am tired of paying more taxes for your wife’s gold plated benefits. salary and retirement plan. One more thing. I’m tired of the pay increases give to teachers for their Mickey Mouse Masters degrees too.
Steve, your wife should be rewarded for her dedication however there are many others who do not do their job, both certificated and classified, who are kept on due to Reduction In Force contract language. I bet your wife knows several staff members who are simply biding their time till retirement, do minimal work and their students suffer YET they are retained when RIFd because they have longevity. That needs to change. Most of us would pay taxes gladly if they were given to the best people.
Why aren’t administrator’s salaries posted?
School districts didn’t report them to the Ohio Department of Education until 2010. Those salaries should be on the tool for 2010, 2011, and 2012.
The data supplied to ODE and referenced on this site reflects a fraction of the work that goes into a typical (not to mention an excellent) teacher’s work day. Why the effort to tear down public employees? Teachers and other public employees did not bankrupt our economy. Why not work with them on meaningful reforms that do not devalue the work and expenses that are continually put BACK into their careers, their schools, and their communities?
Any plans to post higher-education salaries?
Unfortunately, the time and money needed to do that isn’t worth the searches generated by users, but if we can figure out how to reduce both, then we’ll gladly add higher education data.
For some time now I have been trying to find accurate figures related to the total debt currently incurred by my local school district [Big Walnut] and some reasonably accurate figures on teacher AND administrator salaries. I’m simply unable to understand the feedback I have received. Can you recommend either a study that might provide this information or a contact whom I might approach for such information? In simpler terms..how much am I on the hook for?
If saving money and still having an awsum school system , why does each system have a superintendant , why not have one superintendant for several districts. They are policy makers. Why do we need so many as well as their assistants. Seems that they just created their jobs because there was an abundance of money. Money is not their so those jobs should go away.
