Andrekopoulos gets MPS contract extension
Andrekopoulos was given a 5% raise, increasing his salary from $160,000 to $168,000 a year, plus improvements in some of his fringe benefits, including a $3,000-a-year increase in payments for an annuity beyond the standard Milwaukee schools retirement benefits. That would increase the annuity benefits from $16,000 to $19,000 a year.
Is it fair that the head of a school district (the CEO if you will) is getting a 5% raise and better benefits when the people who actually do the work (the teachers) didn't get a raise in over two years and now have worse benefits than before.
In addition, this school district is a complete failure. Kids are not learning, they are not going to school and not graduating. The fact that attendance is worse can be directly related to the fact that Andrekopoulous decided to start high school an hour later to save money. This will actually cost more money and now the buses can't get to school on time.
So someone who makes poor decisions that cost the district money and lowers the attendance rate gets a bigger raise and better benefits than the actual workers who have to try and deal with all his poor decisions....
Is that fair? Compare that to a buisness...

Actually Game, it sounds a lot like what Clinton 'coincidentally' did with the Presidential retirement $ right before his last term was up. Maybe your MPS CEO was a good study of Clinton techniques.
Scorpion says---
"B. A."was an adequate middle school prinicipal.Anything else has been a stretch.The overpaid/
underworked school board wasn't
interested in a search for a new body when no one who could make a difference would apply for the job
anyway.The school board wouldn't let someone make a real impact anyway.So "Andy"will continue to
dismantle what was once a viable
working school system.Must be the teachers fault-everything else is.
0+0=school board-and their superin-
tendent equates to less than that.
Of course,pay him more from the funding that isn't there.MPS stands
for in this case,Mainly Poor Supervision.Mediocrity Per Se.
I just want to say once again that his stupid idea to start high schools later is hurting children...my first hour attendance is barely over 50%...
They tried to save money by cutting a bus route and starting high school later...it snowed like 2 inches last night, and many kids were over 45 mintues late for school...I think that kind of leadership and decision making ability deserves a raise
