Chris and I graduated from the same high school. At the end of my senior year, the highest paid 'educator' in our district was our librarian...err...media specialist. Seriously, the man insisted on being called a media specialist.
His job duties entailed yelling at kids for chewing gum in the library and checking people's bags before leaving to make sure no one was stealing books. He had media center helpers to actually check in/out books, catalogue the inventory and to help other students with their research.
From our areas weekly newspaper, he was making $92-105k per year. His salary was based off of his education. He had something like 4 bachelor degrees, 1 masters, and a doctorate of library science. I'm sure he had plenty of time to study for these degrees while he was on payroll at OHS.
This absolutely disgusted me.
Also, if I remember correctly, the average starting salary for a teacher in Olentangy is well into the 40's per year. Not bad fresh out of college with a bachelors degree.
