I love the way three high schools in Hawthorne/Lawndale are called "Centinela Valley".

i grew up in hawthorne. great place to live. centinela valley was usually used to describe inglewood and el segundo, but back in the 60s and 70s no one really called hawthorne part of the centinela valley.

The base pay I can understand but I want to know what the $400,000 in benefits were. The documents they link to don't really show much of anything. I've seen where cops make more in overtime pay than they do in base but that's probably not the case for a superintendent.

[mrwicked]

thats a pretty sweet deal on the loan.

A clause allowing him to be reimbursed by the district for purchasing “air time,” or up to five years of service to add to the number of years he actually worked, so as to boost his lifetime pension.

 

Always... always w the f*cking pensions.

[yk9001]

btw, I just cannot tell you guys how much better this place is since the powers that be gave the one poster the lifetime ban.

 

The place just smells better, reads better, everything about angelswin is better.

This article really pissed me off, both as a taxpayer and as a teacher.  The worst part is that it appears legal.  The idiotic school board should be kicked out on their asses.  That they could allow such mismanagement of funds is appalling.  Really, the contract is devilishly brilliant.  He paid for the service time and the district REIMBURSED HIM FOR IT!  That's ridiculous.  9% raise annually?

 

My first thought is that it is obscene.  My second thought was that I need to get into the administration side of education,  cause it ain't going away!

City of Vernon is jealous.

He's got a family to feed folks.

That's $3K per day for having a pulse and showing up.

 

School superintendents don't do squat.  Everything would run just fine without them.

The politicans in California wonder why there is a budget shortfall. Lol.

Came across this joke recently as someone I know got a new county job in OC. This person gets raises every 6 months and because of their hours (3-12) gets an additional percentage. They are making about double (going to be way more after all the pay bumps kick in) what the same job does in the private sector. Their benefits are amazing and there is even a healthcare plan where they are covered and get paid $30 a month, if they chose it. Pensions included, etc.

 

I always knew government, city, county jobs were killer, but damn.

 

As this is all being said of the new gig, an old Republican says, "No wonder the state is broke."

I'm definitely in the wrong business.

And btw, there's a whole bunch of you a-holes here who post all the time about how they want newspapers to die - Newspapers are the only ones uncovering this stuff.  The LA Times exposed the Bell disaster, and the LANG uncovered this Centinela Valley mess.

[mtangelsfan]

There is a total place for newspapers.  This was a great find by them and a good story.  Papers just have to figure out how to keep relevant and fresh.

 

Proplem is this generation has the attention span of my new 10 month old heeler.

[Blarg]

I love newspapers, in fact there is an OCR in a pile right next to me that I haven't read because this thread has my complete attention.

Damn Internet's is ruining the power of the press.

who got a lifetime ban?
