I am not defending V's raise, but usually those things are on a schedule--like after so many years of service, etc. I agree the board could have voted against it due to proration. Just pointing out that pay raises in education are generally scheduled by years served or some other marker.
SCHEDULE???? I am certain there were a lot things on the SCHEDULE until PRORATION was declared!!!! How about students taking field trips? How about buying new computers for the classrooms? How about even the custodians buying toilet paper with 3-ply sheets instead of 1? All of these were on SCHEDULE until PRORATION was declared!!!!
This is all about one man and his EGO. Mr. Valentine could not stand, not being among the highest paid superintendents. He would rather have that honor, than have the students in Laud. Co. scoring higher on test scores than any other county. In order to obtain that lofty salary, Mr Valentine and Ms. Cornelius had to play "footsies" under the table so she could get her son the principal job at Anderson, and he could get that big pay raise that NO ONE else is going to get. You don't have to be an Einstein to figure that out!!!
