Concord Carlisle school district teachers average over $100,000 in the 2013-14 school year while Florida district teachers averaged under $40,000. My favorite district in Massachusetts has only a single teacher earning just a bit over $47,000.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-82119476328101218752016-02-26T15:25:07.521-05:002016-02-26T15:25:07.521-05:00Thank you for calling out all the players in this ...Thank you for calling out all the players in this scheme, Peter. The Pioneer Institute, The Rennie Center, Mass Inc., the HGSE, The Boston Foundation, McKinsey have all been making bank for years as they planted their sleeper cells to destroy public education in the city where it originated (with an assist from the newspaper of record). Now, all the stars have aligned so that the plan can move forward. But we are not going quietly. Rage, rage unto the dying of the light. <br /><br />Christine LanghofflaMissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00516322307725011313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-56005168185026709552016-02-26T14:48:49.898-05:002016-02-26T14:48:49.898-05:00I was dutifully writing my letter to the editor th...I was dutifully writing my letter to the editor this morning when I too noticed the list disappeared. It had 2623 names on it. (I only know this because I referenced the list in my letter). It had not only teachers but all employees of BPS: teachers and other union members, as well as non-unionized employees like principals and school administrators, central office staff, and district leaders including the superintendent. <br /><br />As always, incisively written and admirably timely.

If the statement that 40% of Boston public school employees earn over $100,000 (it is believable because the average salary in Boston was about $90,800 in 2013-14), the list would have to have 1,600 names if we approximate headcount with FTE.<br /><br />Source of data: http://profiles.doe.mass.edu/state_report/teachersalaries.aspx?mode=&year=2014&orderBy=AVERAGE%20DESCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
