  1. I don't agree with a lot of what Parents' Coalition may write, but this is something I do agree on. We need more classroom teachers, many more classroom teachers, especially in the overpopulated schools, and we should not be wasting money on (more) administrators.

    1. He is a "Director", this is a "Chief".

    2. As a Director Eric Davis was making $145,123 as of January 2011. Chief's were making were making $162,623 - $202,540 at the same time. How much will this new "Chief" position pay? The Board of Education hasn't mentioned that, have they?
      $50,000 is a classroom position that won't be in the budget.
      Teachers buy your own supplies, we need more Chiefs.
