Principals a LOT more Important than Teachers
Right? That's why at Aquidneck School we're getting a bargain for the temp Principal (former Portsmouth School Super. Ryan) at ONLY $450/day. The article did not mention what he was being paid for as acting Sup't., nor if the two different jobs are both added into his 90 max days as a state retiree. 90 days- remember that's half the school year.
But then Principals teach a LOT of kids, correct? Uh-oh, I forgot- they don't. That would be a substitute teacher at $75/day. But who needs those expensive teachers anyway?
Here is the NDN article by the ONLY consistent reporter covering the Middletown beat- Matt Sheley. One could hire one of the former Principals now retired for a LOT less (?125 day) OR use the lead teacher & hire a regular substitute to cover those classes, but... why when you have a bargain like this? Also note in the article the use of the word "average pay." Not quite the same as what a substitute's pay would be or even a Principal new to the school system.
But that Aquidneck School is one tough nut to crack. Grades PK-4 with less than 350 students in a really troubled neighborhood. Oops, silly me. That's MY neigborhood. Not quite the same as South Providence, I think. Yup, I'm bad. That's MY family's tax $ you're spending here (remember that "we the people" baloney?). Heck, it's ONLY money. Chump change if you will. Nice, no wonder teachers get angry. Wouldn't you?

Tim has been in Middletown since Mr. Krupowicz died. He has had one un necessary job after another. One only wonders why. Just to keep him working? He is known by staff and administrators as Mrs. Kraeger's henchman. If he was making $450 as a part time principal ( usually filled in by Lead teacher) can you only image what he made as Ass, superintendent, bet it wasn't 450!
So what does a henchman do for the big bucks?
Thanks for the comments. I had forgotten about lead teachers filling in (that is part of their job),so I included it in the article.
When the principal had her first baby my daughter's teacher was the lead teacher and she became acting principal and they hired a sub for my daughter's class.
Yes..she was certified as a principal as well. Present lead teacher isn't.
Ryan has not worked consistently since Krupowitz died.
What does a henchman do?
Oh maybe Ryan got rid of the Asst Supt Maruscheck...that was a fast get away.
Middletown substitute teachers are paid $70 day not $75 as of 11/08. Does anybody wonder why they are always looking for help?
$10/hr. plus tips. Yahooo!
no tips :-(
