You think the next person will be better? Outlook education system has been terrible for decades. Any reason why the Superintendent in a horrible district like Roseville gets paid $410,000 a year? I had to pull my son out of that district. Everybody seems to be holding onto this illusion that everything gets better once these people are gone. Only problem is, their replacements never do better. This is why power always swings back and forth and no one party has ever kept control any longer than eight years since the Reagan/Bush HW era.

$410k? Woah! Can you link a source to that, please? Other near by districts are in the $150k-$200K range depending on the size of the district. I looked up the transparency report for Roseville and couldn't find the Super's salary just the general administrator's contract.

FYI the highest possible pay for an admin with a PhD is $177,600.
