It's not just education; see the April 15th project which is noted on the home page. And Chuck, have you seen the about page? I'm hardly sneaking up on you. My wife's in the public sector too. I always tell anyone unhappy with that to come into the private sector; the water's fine. Sorry for my delay in noticing your comment, Wayne.

I like the idea of shining a light on EVERYBODY who espouses righteousness. For they, too, have an agenda. Many of us understand the current wave of disdain for public education is simply an attempt to gain support for privatization and ultimately a caste system whereby these private entities decide who is educated and who is not. i wonder if the NOT's will look anything like the owners of the education system. not likely. Way to keep your eye on the ball, though, secret website person.

I had no idea this information was being made available. This is a great effort! The people need to be able to easily obtain this information on how their money is being used. Unfortunately, the Mayfield Heights schools are not yet in the data base. We need to have a strong light shined on the activities of government. I wonder how many people realize that the average public sector salary is almost twice that of the average private sector salary? When one considers that all wealth is generated by the private sector, it is very apparent that public sector salaries are excessive. There are also huge variances between counties on expenditures. Being informed is the first step toward fixing the inequity. Thanks for your efforts and God speed! WOW! I had no idea this information was being made available. This is a great effort!

Are the salaries listed based upon the school contract year and hours (185 hours) or are they extrapolated for a normal 2080 hours full-time work year? I also understand after quickly reviewing one school district's union contract for its teachers, that there are additional fees/compensation a teacher can receive. Does your list include these or are these the base salaries? i.e. I heard that one central Ohio school district has paid its janitorial staff over $100k annually because of mandatory over time.

I read through several pages of this information - including what is posted on my own. You don't have 'years of service' correct for many... just how long they have been with their current district. You are misleading people about salaries. If you are going to post information like this... you need to make sure it is factual,honest, and current.

Our levys keep failing and it doesn't help their financial sitiation when parents do that. Well......it's BECAUSE of the financial situation that I took him out. It's rediculous the hear them keep asking for more money, when they make the outrageous amounts per year that they make.....TAKE A PAY CUT just like the rest of the working class America has had to do!!! Don't give me this BS that it's illegal.....if everyone else can do it SO CAN YOU!! Maybe if the guys who sit behind a desk whining to the parents that you are taking funding away from them could part with some of that 100plus thousand dollars a year for a while until the school gets back on its feet to support your salary, things would turn around for the school. Administrators.....don't complain about parents wanting to give their kid a better education at home unless your willing to make your OWN sacrifices instead of just the school sacrifices. I had to take a pay cut where I work to keep my job and to keep the company from shutting down....you can too. My school just called me and complained that I took my kid out to homeschool him.
