1. I don't know what an assistant does or even if

it is a full time job but teachers get a pretty damn good salary. (English teacher $87,000.) The administrators really make a killing.

3. That's the top of the range

The median for English teachers is more like $50k. I don't think $87k is outrageously high for an excellent teacher with ample experience, especially set against administrative salaries more than double that figure.

5. I went back and looked there are three pages of

English teachers. The teachers salaries on the second and third page don't look out of line. The cost of living in that area is pretty high compared with my area also.

4. not when the scope of the job is considered, and when compared to corporate salaries

260,000 students, 260 schools, 6th largest in nation

quite a scope for a $300K leader

2. Which exact job title are you referring to?

There were two teaching positions with "assistant" in the title that I found with salaries of about $17k and $25k. But I wouldn't take these to be full-time positions. I looked up physics teachers and got a lot of people making just under $40k and a few well above that.

Still not really enough in my opinion...

6. How overpaid are the administrators?

And people with bureaucrat titles like Deputy Assistant Superintendent of Administrative Services; they make +$200,000 and nobody can cogently explain what it is that they actually do.
