Hey school board...stop treating Tim Culver like some hallowed CEO saint and start considering the taxpayers!
Wisconsin State Journal: School superintendents' bonuses may be 'an issue from the public's point of view'
An "issue"? Puh...LEEZE!
If only the article had mentioned that these people earn more than the governor.
We throw money at these people like it's going out of style.
Barring some conviction or gross performance issues, they never get shown the door...they leave when they're good and ready...and only after their pockets are sufficiently padded. In our own school district, has there ever been a time when a district administrator got anything less than a good performance review? One has to wonder.
Don't tell us that removing these golden paychecks is going to prevent us from hiring a well-qualified individual. Poppycock! Tim Culver will be retiring likely in the next 3-5 years. What are we going to do? Up the ante and pay his replacement even more?
"Many districts provide a monthly vehicle stipend to superintendents, ranging from $300 in Madison to $600 in Monona Grove.
Monona Grove School Board president Susan Fox said the amount of the vehicle perk in her district raised eyebrows among board members who weren't around when [District Administrator] Gerlach was hired in 2009. The board is currently renegotiating Gerlach's contract."
"[Vehicle stipends, etc.] doesn't get reported anywhere and that's the problem,"
