Can you believe we used to think that a superintendent’s job was really time-consuming and difficult
I certainly did.
Superintendents were responsible for overseeing the district’s schools, administrators and teachers, while managing the local board of education and serving as the champion for public education.
Certainly no reason to begrudge them their big salaries…
But now I realize I was way off base.
Why?
Because now we’ve got Paul Vallas, who for $229,000, is “transforming” Bridgeport’s schools, running a $1 million contract to turnaround schools in Illinois and leading a new partnership to sell “The Vallas Model” to school districts across the country.
And then there is Steven Adamowski, who is not only saving Windham’s Schools, but has now been given the responsibility to revolutionize the quality of education in New London
