No matter how many years some of the rest of us work for the school district, our salaries are capped. For example, classified workers (such as instructional aides) are capped at the mid-$17 an hour range, despite years of service, education, and/or experience. Our gross yearly incomes rarely break $20,000 a year (and we work directly in the trenches).
In the meantime, district admin makes hundreds of thousands a year each (between 3 and 10 times the amount of us worker bees)??? You want to talk about being lean, try living on a classified salary in Santa Barbara—- that’s lean.

You could have two of me for the price of one of these “directors”. If I could find a job. And this does not include benefits?
Your union candidates at work. Makes me want to vote for Das the union candidate.

Only 11 of these 24 worked at the District when I left a few years ago. We have 10% unemployment or whatever in SB County, yet more than half of these people live outside of SB area. Additionally, without fail, EVERY TIME one of these “new and improved” admins come here, they invariably get a raise from their previous positions, which means they are bringing bigger starting salaries from their old districts/jobs. Does that make any sense? Of course not, which is why they are the SB School District. By far the most totally mismanaged place I ever worked for. When it comes down to crunch time, nobody knows anything. Remember when they “lost” and then “found” 5 million dollars a couple years ago?? How does this happen?? I’ll tell you how——incompetent leadership, plain and simple.

frankly, many of these jobs are quit thankless and overwhelming, and we can’t pay them enough to keep them here long. BUT, on another note Gerald “Bud” Andrews also pulls in a salary for working as a school site admin, I wonder how much he makes total…

What a waste of money—cut their salaries in half—Now—10 more will take the job right away—we work for them??
