ReplyWow... Lots of hate filled ranting from a lot of people. Governor Walker's book isn't even in the bookstore, and Patch already has 180 comments. Kind of sad.

ReplyEd - I don't think you can compare Van Wangaard's situation to Dr. Laing walking out the front door of a building and walking in the back door a few months later. Van Wangaard had to spend money and run for the senate seat.
Dr. Shaw did the same thing. He retired, and then was hired at RUSD for $180,000.00 plus pretty excellent benefits including his $60,000.00 parting gift!

ReplyBrian - Didn't Dr. Laing retire in 2007 and then start right back working for RUSD? Would she have been collecting a pension at that time? The article makes it look like she retired in 2007 and officially came back in 2012.
I'm wondering if someone needs to correct this, "The story featured Racine Unified School District Superintendent Ann Laing, who retired in 2007 and was formally re-hired by the school district a year ago." -

ReplyRandy1949 - Think about this... We are paying public school district administrators outrageous salaries across the state of Wisconsin and across the Country. Yet, we can't afford basic maintenance and upkeep in our schools. Instead of teacher's being cut, school districts need to cut the fat at the top. A Superintendent making $200,000.00 or $300,000.00 can surely answer their own phone! Why does their assistant need an assistant? High taxes are forcing elderly people out of their homes, and the outrageous salaries at the college level are making it impossible for a middle class student to afford college.
And another thing... Why do you always want to make this a Republican/Democrat thing? Can't we just ever have a discussion about ideas to fix things?

ReplyRandy1949 - How do you feel about paying Superintendents and other RUSD Administrators obscene salaries? Considering RUSD's poor test scores and the fact that more then 1000 students fled the district last year... I guess they could consider themselves as a failing school district. Did you know that RUSD is considering paying the next Superintendent over $200,000.00 a year?

ReplyI was wondering where Hoffa was myself? Haven't seen him on the Patch in a while. Keith, you didn't have anything to do with his disappearance did you? :)
