I'm sure he provides more worth to that community than an extra 3 teachers. I'm sure there is no better use of that money, they must really need that man to be willing to overpay him so much...
Hey those minorities ain't gonna harass themselves.
Considering the salary for 10 years xp is 60k, the pension + salary is enough to pay for 6 teachers... Maybe 7 if you costed all the other benefits.
Nah those are charter schools.
Hillsborough pays worse: 47.5k for the first 10 years and then it starts going up. 60k is 25 years of experience.
(Pay starts on page 9)

Edit: note if you want to count out teacher benefits it’s maybe ~10k per teacher, with 3% to retirement and then like 8.8k for medical. Add the pay roll tax, the $300 a year for supplies, and $600 extra pay for for ~25-30 hours of training every year (get paid maybe $20-25/hr for trainings instead of full amount) and you’re at like $62,300 per teacher in total cost to the county. Note I’m ignoring teacher incentive pay as he also gets it and it’s likely proportional so, I’m ignoring that. But yeah that is minimum 5.5 full cost teachers for just his direct salary+pension.
Yeah, but we need cops because of what happens in places like CHAZ.
