PSD administrative and facilities staff aren't.
This article is kind of misleading. They say "lowest possible starting pay was $34.626" for Pacifica. Doesn't mean any teachers actually get that.
At any rate, I think teachers are just as (or more) important as police and should be compensated well. Lower police, raise teachers.
If you go to Horgan's County Corner, he shows Pacifica teachers make about $55K on average. That's still the lowest in the county.
It would be interesting to see what administrators make.
Here's the base salary/total compensation information I found. Todd or someone else may have a more efficient link.
School Administrators, San Mateo County. Page 1, Jefferson Union High School District Superintendent $190,084/$229,013. Page 6, Pacifica School District, Chief Business Official Administrative services $121,953/$167,341. Page 9, Jefferson High School District, Associate Superintendent District Office $120,042/$156,734. Page 11, Pacifica School District, Computer Network System Administrator/Technology $107,701,/$149,637. Page 12 Jefferson Union High School Associate Superintendent District office $120,044/$147,452.
And with that sampling, that's where I quit. The search is slow and tedious. Visibly our School Districts are on the low side of base salary/compensation.
School districts will soon be required to file compensation reports just like municipalities. I tried to get similar info from our local PSD but they were very uncooperative. I had to go through the FOIA request BS to get anywhere which is a black eye on our PSD executive staff.
Again it just gets back to the hostility public sector employees have toward the public.
Of interest, not all PSD teachers are fully time, nor do they want to be. The hourly rate however is a healthy sum.
Hostility? Maybe some fear, too?
Teacher's pensions are often even better than government employees. Set up back in the day when teaching really was the lowest paid of the degreed careers. Low salaries were supposed to be offset by nice pensions and job security. Where have we heard that before?
Furthermore, whatever teachers get in terms of salary, benefits and pensions it's just the starting point for the administrators and various staff.

Teachers Union is very powerful. They shrug off attempts to make it easier to fire abusive bad teachers.
All these public Unions are doing is hurting the public.
