Not living in Schenectady, not having to pay those outrageous taxes, I'm not going to scrutinize things in the city as much.

Who heard that while there is going to be yet another tax increase and while graduation rate is falling, did anyone now that the budget voted for in May provided for a raise for the super?

He makes almost $200,000 which is already too high.   He is a servant of the taxpayers.  If he wanted a big salary, he should have gone to work in the private sector and work his way up instead of digging into the taxpayers' pockets, families who make less than $40,000 a year have to give a raise to a school super who can't produce students who can read and write by 12th grade

vote it down...immediately...find someone else......it's going to be a long hot summer...

what did anyone expect?

what percentage of the school taxes goes to salaries and benefits?

anyone know?

One of those things kept a secret, just like the ex mayor of BS tried to sneak through a fat raise without telling the voters

It is at 61% of the total budget of 2012 of $193,000,000.

I only used the line items marked and saying Salary.  Some are contracts but hard to separate.

Thanks!

Was that on the district website or elsewhere?


But wow, look at that $10 million increase in just five years?   WOW

instead of line items ....why don't they post one line at a time.......that's why they can get away with  pay raises...

you have to have a Master's in math to figure it out........want to see how much one employee costs....and how much raise they get per year.....

balance the buget is easy when you can make the bottom line ZERO...

Problem with that website is it doesn't give enough info.  You don't know if the person listed is a secretary, a janitor, an aide, a teacher, a teacher with only one year of work or a teacher with 30 years of work
