From the N&O’s Bull’s Eye blog:
County Commissioner Joe Bowser is critical of the Durham Public Schools board for proposing to cut 121 teaching and teaching assistant positions as a money-saving measure, rather than looking in other places.
Like the home office ? where, he said, assistant superintendent positions have increased from two to six in recent years.
According to figures handed out at this morning’s meeting between the school board and the county commissioners, in addition to Supernintendent [sic] Carl Harris, DPS has six assistant superintendents, a chief operating officer and a chief academic officer on the central administrative staff.
Those eight salaries range from $111,988.44 to $158,850.96.
There are 12 “executive directors,” salaries ranging from $93,571.92 to $127,855.80.
There are 23 full-time “directors” whose pay runs from $63,213.12 to $97,321.56, and one half-time director at $53,514. Two directors have county-provided vehicles.
