To be totally fair I don't begrudge Drs. Latham and Wary their high salaries. Lynn is the fifth largest school district in the state and has some pretty unique problems. Salaries should reflect the task. Good pay for a job well done.
But then you have to ask yourself, "How do you define "Well done". I imagine our district has to be near the top at producing failing schools. That is a distinction we could do without. The two of them along with their secretaries account for nearly half a million dollars a year. And don't forget (as if I would let you) Dr. Latham succesfully convinced 5 members of the LSC to add another Deputy position. So adding in the secretary that would come with the position, we are talking probably near another $200,000 a year.
Take a look at LPS's bulging payroll. Are we getting our money's worth?
You listen to the Super's report at every SC meeting - is she doing a good job? How would you grade her? What should she do that she isn't?
