Administrators and Salary (Jeff, Topic Twenty-Two)

High-Level Salaries Approved for new top Administrators at Cash=Strapped LA Unified School District (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2011/05/high-level-salaries-approved-for-new-top-administrators-at-cash-strapped-la-unified.html)

Summary: A new administrator position has been created in the district with a pay-scale that begins at well over $137,000. The positions pay would increase to approximately $170,000 over five steps. Other LA administrators are currently making close to $200,000.

Key Points: 1) Administrators are making a lot of money.

Relevance: It is absurd to me that a new admin. position can be created out of thin air with a starting salary four times as high as that of a teacher. Teachers are being let go and admin. is expanding?
