New Worthington superintendent leader to forgo perks | The Columbus Dispatch

The new Worthington superintendent will start his job in August already making concessions.

[angry trees]

and Bill Wise, superintendent of SWCS, takes all the perks he can and bonuses

[emilyralph]

But I guess its been said that he'll forgo all the perks!!http://www.hellotrade.c om/kinex-cappers/product.html

Too bad Dr. Gene Harris from Columbus City Schools doesn't feel the same way..........
She takes all the perks she can get.

[Eddie Mars]

Let's hope the Dublin school administration reads this. Maybe they'll get some ideas...

[Nana]

I congratulate him on what he is doing. More administrators need to look at his example and do the same. Why should a school pay for their car, cell phones, etc. That is just ridiculous and should be stopped by all districts.

[Seadog]

At $145,000.00 / year, just how under-paid are our school administrators? Is there more to SB5 than angry Republicans taking it out on the lowly unions?

[Mr Right]

Good start.

[Eye roast]

So let me get this straight. He just got a $26,000 raise, but he's "making the sacrifice" of only being eligible for another token raise. He's "making the sacrifice" of not having a work-related cellphone, ie, not on call 24/7. And he's "making the sacrifice" of driving his own car and paying for the "long distance" move from Lewis Center.

I see sainthood in this guy's future...

Dr. Tucker is first class all the way.

[Really]

No health care? Smell a rat? His wife must be a teacher or public servant elsewhere and he's on that plan.

[wow]

Awesome person, awesome contract, awesome sacrafices.
Too bad Gov. Kasich can't get on the bus and make these sacrafices.

[A Wise Guy]

Now if Kasuck and his republicans ceos and buddies would do that instead of taking away rights from workers, the budget "crisis" would be resolved.

Yea but he didn't have to, thats the reason we are praising him. You didn't see Kasuck or Gene Harris do anything similar. They took the money and RAN!

[Seriously]

How is $145,000 a sacrifice?

[CLINTONVILLE RESIDENT]

I am glad he is going to relocate. That 5 mile drive down High street from Lewis Center to WHS is a killer.

[are you kidding me]

He gave up a cell phone stipend...I've worked for years as management and paid for my own;A car? Why? I've worked for years as management and bought my own;Moving from Lewis center to Worthington and won't get paid for it...are you kidding me? It's his choice to take the new job...pay for your own move.....145,000 for 182 plus working days a year...are you serious? These taxpayer employees don't understand about concessions and they definitely don't realize they are not in private industry jobs...actually private industry doesn't do those perks anymore...How did things get SOOOOO out of hand????????

[voteno]

Good start.

But no to any levies until no administrators/staff have any perks.

[Worthington MOM]

Well, he is in.

Now he has to prove himself he show him to the exit.

State Scores dip and he's gone !!

Superintendents work a 260 day schedule (just like you in the private sector) and a superintendent is on call 24/7/365 (unlike a lot of you in the private sector). What would a CEO of a $100 million dollar business be making these days,$1 million?,$1.5 million? I guarantee that it is way more than $145,000. What should they make??, I bet the answer is not more than you do, right??

I love the people on here who are jealous of his salary. If you don't like your own salary go earn a PHD like he did. Sounds like a man of principle.
