Charter schools CEO earns $567k/yr, moves HQ to Wall Street

Eva Moskowitz isn't just backed by Wall Street, she moved there

Eva Moskowitz, the firebrand chief of the city’s fastest growing charter chain, isn’t just backed by Wall Street, she’s officially moved there — with Wall Street-type salaries to boot.

Last November, Moskowitz, who for years boasted of opening her Success Academy Charter Schools in the city’s poorest neighborhoods, quietly shifted her corporate headquarters from Central Harlem to 95 Pine St. (aka 120 Wall St.).

The new offices will cost her organization $31 million over 15 years, according to its most recent financial report.

The same report shows Moskowitz received an eye-popping $567,000 during the 2012-2013 school year. That’s a raise of $92,000 from the previous year, and more than double the $212,000 paid to Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña.

That made Moskowitz the city’s highest-paid charter school executive last year. Her spokeswoman said Moskowitz’s current pay is a less lofty $305,000, with her bonus to be determined at year’s end.

This is...evidently... what we seem to want. As a society, I mean; not as individuals.

No.... it makes no sense to me either.

Except in the classic sense. i.e. "You gotta spend $$$ to make $$$$. ( But are we sure it's HER $$$ she's spending?)

How's her test scores, BTW? Oh... you mean she cheats?

I'm shocked.

Quid pro Cuomo LOVES her.

I'm shocked again.
