by the fans of Public School Vouchers

Our kids are back in Public School on Wednesday this week (22AUG2012) – so the ECT folks thought you’d like to see some of the high points of our 2012-2012 School Budget.

Previous public school superintendent John Brendza was paid $138,317.04 a year (Click Here FY 2006-07)
Current public school superintendent Sandra Smyser is paid $192,384.74 a year (Click Here FY2011-12)
So that difference of “$54,067.70″ per year is one full time teacher salary plus a part-time time teacher!!

Now onto this: last years school budget vs. this coming years budget- the department budgets in Red have increased spending, the ones in Green have decreased for the coming year-
