State Board of Education trims salary of double-dipping CIO
Ten years ago, John Q. Porter told District Administration, a publication aimed at school district administrators, that he liked fine things, expensive clothes, expensive cars and that he collected Rolex watches.Thanks to a salary ($195,000 per year) as interim chief information officer for the Mississippi Department of Education that is higher than Gov. Phil Bryant’s ($122,160 per year), and several lucrative, single-source contracts totaling more than $293,000 before he was hired by the state, Porter can afford to indulge his hobbies on the taxpayers’ tab.
