NIMPC - Not In My Pay Check

Uh, oh. Doing unto others and then having it done to you sucks.

School Board Pay Excessive:

"This would permit them to share in the sacrifice of budget cuts experienced by teachers, support staff and administrators by lowering their previously state-mandated salaries to a level that would nonetheless continue to place them in the top 2 percent of highest-paid board members, on average, in the country."

This next statement may be a bit difficult to process. Somehow it keeps revolving around in my mind that the reason there may be micro-managing is because some of those professionals that are hired to run the classrooms, ancillary services and schools may not be trained. Or ethical. There may even be some skewed types of relationships between some of the players. Mr. Doug Erwin tried to execute his job in a professional manner, and look what happened to him.

"The real problem with a salaried board is that the money received encourages board members to spend more time on the job than governance and policy development responsibilities require, thereby leading to instances of micro-managing or meddling with the work of trained professionals hired to run the classrooms, ancillary services and schools."

I feel bad when I know someone is going to take a pay cut. I hear there is a new money making endeavor going on in Hillsborough County. Just contact your local cell phone tower manufacturer.
