Administrators on the move! Do we need to keep their positions?

Here's hoping there hasn't been a lot of work to do in the MCPS Office of Shared Accountability.  The Director of that office is interviewing for a Superintendent position in Dracut, Massachusetts.  


This is the third time that the Director of the Office of Shared Accountability has had his name made public for a Superintendent position in the last six months. He was also a candidate for positions in Newton, Massachusetts and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.


Other MCPS administrative positions being vacated:


March 2010: TheMCPS Associate Superintendent for Human Resources took a job in Newton, Massachusetts.


April 2010: The MCPS Director of Communications took a job in Houston, Texas.


May 2010: A MCPS Consulting Principal took a job in Alexandria, Virginia.  


Question: Considering the current budget issues in Montgomery County, when these MCPS administrators leave do their positions need to be filled, or can these positions be eliminated in favor of keeping teachers in classrooms? 


Note that Stacy Scott has reported his total compensation as $250,000 and Susan Marks has reported her total compensation as $200,000, therefore eliminating one of these administrative positions could put 2-3 teachers back in classrooms. 


If all of the above MCPS administrative positions that are being vacated were eliminated, and the funding was shifted to teacher salaries, that could put 8 -12 teachers back in classroom for the 2010-11 school year.
