Verona District Administrator Snags 7.3% Raise

The rich really are getting richer, folks!  First came DeForest, now comes Verona.  Verona's District Administrator, Dean Gorrell, was just handed a handsome 7.3% raise--a raise of $9,500 per year on top of his current $130,000 salary.  Anyone wonder what the Vegas over/under is for how long before our own Doctor Culver wants to further pad is hefty salary?

DeForest's Jon Bales at $146,243 now exceeds Culver, and Verona's Gorrell is nipping at his heels.  It's more of that self-serving, self-fulfilling prophecy.  And not one dime of those salaries goes towards educating the kids of these districts.

Current top Dane Co. District Administrator salaries are now...
• Madison, 24,806 students, $201,438
• Oregon, 3,725 students, $155,900
• Middleton-Cross Plains, 6,104 students, $155,675
• DeForest, 3,249 students, $146,243
• Mount Horeb, 2,337 students, $143,000
• Sun Prairie, 6,977 students, $142,193
• Verona, 4,889 students, $139,500
• Stoughton, 3,379 students, $130,000
