765 Salaries above $100,000...

...and that was in 2006.

In 2006, The Examiner filed a Public Information Act request with MCPS for certain salary and employee information. The Examiner did not receive all of the information that it requested, but it did receive the list of all 21,497 MCPS employees in 2006 and their salaries for that year. The complete list of 2006 MCPS salaries is found here.

From that list we learn that there were 765 employees making over $100,000 in 2006. Of those 765 employees, only 4 have the word "teacher" in their title. The complete 15 page list of the "over $100,000 employees" from 2006 is shown below.

The 2006 list of MCPS employees shows 239 Instructional Specialists. But don't let that title fool you. Those employees aren't in classrooms. The list of Instructional Specialists from 2006 is here.

And here's another group that your kids probably haven't met, "Directors". What do they "direct?" In 2006 there were 68 "Directors" with the lowest salary of the group at $98,921. Ask a "director" if they have any control over what goes on in your local school. The answer? The principal is in charge of your local school. See the 2006 list of "Directors" here.

What do MCPS employee salaries look like in 2009? Just ask. Public information is available for any member of the public that makes an inquiry. Read about the Maryland Public Information Act here, and find out more about the MCPS Public Information office here.
