Heard today the Hays High football coach makes $70,000 a year.

Isn't there a database to look up state salaries?

For you all people bitching about the extra costs and/or the quality of education your child recieves here in Hays, here's a thought ...

Home School your damn kids!!

That will flat out teach you to bitch about how hard it is and how much it costs to educate a child.

Please be quiet, slider, the grown-ups are talking. Go back to your room and play with your Nancy Pelosi action figure.

There is supposed to be a link to the salary schedule on this page. However, when you click it, there's nothing there.

Most schools do publish their salary schedule. Not sure if this is a webmaster issue or what.

I'll email Freddie tomorrow. He loves me..

The salary schedule will likely only cover teachers. The coaching/ supplemental contracts won't be reflected. I think some distrcts have a set schedule for that as well but I don't know if usd 489 does.

Here's the rud-down from HDS.

ADJUSTMENT

20 adjustments. 1 pertaining to sports.

what ever Kaufman makes it is around 100,000 dollars too much

Heard the coach gets pait the $70,000 for teaching one period (weights), the rest for coaching football and track.

I'm surprised at the big jump

so am I understanding that the workbook fee went from $15 to $100 across the board?? wow.

I kinda figured him for a Nancy Pelosi blowup doll, complete with a realistric mouth....that won't STFU.

not that it makes a difference... but the way I understood this article the fees went to 85 dollars. http://www.hdnews.net/Story/schoolbudget072809

Schwartz suggested increasing K-12 workbook and material fees even higher than originally submitted, from a $45 increase to an $85 hike.

Sounds to me like they were going to hike the fee from $15 by $45 to $60.
But they instead decided to hike the fee by $85 to $100 instead. That spreads out the cost to all parents of the district rather than putting the burden on just the kindergarteners.

Just got off the phone with USD 489. Workbook fees HAVE been increased from $15 to $100 for ALL students, except those who qualify for the FREE lunch program. Those students will be exempt. Full price and reduced price lunch students will be required to pay full price for the workbook fees.

Just got off the phone with USD 259. Workbook fees are $45 for a student entering 8th. grade. Less for lower grades, more for upper grades.

Where is district 259?

Wichita, KS

Do I sense a little homophobia from the liberal?

What you call 'sniping' others would call good natured jabbing. There isn't two sets of rules but we'll never convince you, I am sure. Snide isn't so bad nor is smart assed.


Remember: It's Ok to get mad. It's not OK to be mean.

I'd say the most hostile thread I've seen lately is this one. Wonder why?

the chosen ones??? gimme a fn break!

Am I a chosen one?Cuz I really would love that,I ain't never been a chosen one before!!!Please,please,can I can I

Wilky, you are chosen...




To do a little cleaning in this privy.

Dammit!!I am always left out

Hey wilky, the basement is a real mess. I'd say get crackin wilky, but that's kinda how it got full. But show me one that dates back before 1900 and hasn't been used for 100 years and I'll dig out the basement for ya.

I guess it's due. Time for concern to digress to compliance. All lap at the spoon that is presented. Power in numbers is lost.

I am gonna pay $25 wkbk fees per kid in Hoxie.

Be nice nitro. Books like "Tha Teknikul Jernul Uv Hawg Sloppin" probably don't cost as much.

Next Board meeting is August 17th. at 7pm for those who wish to voice their opinion.

On what? Everything's been decided.

Decisions can be reversed if enough people complain.

The other option they raised at the meeting was increasing taxes.

A field or park.....100 Kegs.....Live metal bands....$25 admission.

Raising taxes would be voted on by the masses, not forced upon by the few.

Thing is they kind of had a point, if people had voted to pass the LOB for roughly a cost of a piddly 10 bux a year we wouldnt be in this mess. Just sayin.

No, the LOB would have been used to line the board's pockets.

BOE meeting is on again now. FYI.

Funny how the Federal Department of Education's link to how much states received in stimulus money appears to go nowhere...
