Andy makes a good point below. It IS insane that people don't throw a fit at
indirectly paying towards astronomical salaries when we are getting upset about public
servants salaries.
I would suggest the difference is that I am not required to buy products from 3M if I

It's good to hear responses from at least some of the very people who made this
decision.
I'm pleased to hear that Mrs. Johnson is indeed donating at least part of her raise.
As I mentioned before, it's largely symbolic but demonstrates at least some
willingness on Mrs. Johnson's part to be t

Gary,
Thank you for your humble thoughts. I share them.
I don't agree with paying someone more money to keep
them from leaving a job they were hired to do because
they decided that things within the job "went awry
(and under their auspices, mind you)" and the end
result did not turn out the way
Could anyone obtain a staff roster for an average elementary, middle, and
high school with numbers of employees and their basic job (teacher, aide,
admin, etc.)?
If MPS are running so lean, where is the money going?

I'm responding to the concerns raised about the Superintendent's pay
raise. I can understand why people are concerned and have raised
questions about Supt. Carol Johnson's pay raise, in light of the timing
and the budget concerns. I'd like to provide some background for list
members, because, unf

I couldn't agree more with Gary in his comments. We have the same issues

I have a question about this pay hike. Were annual pay
raises a part of her contract and was the amount
specified in the contract, tied to performance
standards, or was there a COLA?
I know Ms Johnson has a contract with the district and
would like to know how pay increases are dealt with in
it,
Today's Strib (paper version, I couldn't find the article on the Strib website) talks
about Mpls. schools Superintendent Carol Johnson's pay (it also discussed St. Paul
Superintendent Patricia Harvey's pay, but this is a Minneapolis Issues post).
