As my final days come to a close in our remarkable school system, please allow me to share things with you that I am thankful for at this special time of year.
First and foremost, I am so thankful for the thousands of students, district staff and parents I have been blessed to work with, get to know, help and assist in the experience of learning. There are few words that can express the joy of seeing teachers, staff and students be successful in school and then in life.
For all the newly implemented opportunities that now avail themselves to our students, staff and parents, which I’ve been able to be a small part of, I am grateful.
Your vision and support to see them come to fruition has made the difference.

Again, please know I understand the work you do in our school system and appreciate what all of you do for our children. I also understand that at times it may not seem that way, but for all you do, I respect, appreciate and I’m most thankful.
Your continuous work and care with our students expresses your commitment and determination to focus on success for them.
So in parting, let me say I’ll miss you and thank you for your most important work you provide to our children. I am hoping and praying nothing but the best for you all in this special time of the year and always.

Go here to check out administrative salaries to get the full picture.
Then go to this site (starting page 5):

to find out how much money was spent on various programs (sort through all the expenses) for 2008 and remember that for 2009 over $200,000 has been added for Johns Hopkins. There was a time when District 150 didn't buy programs--teachers just taught from the expensive textbooks and provided students with a very good education. Now 150 pays teachers and buys programs from companies that are constantly hawking some new cure-all educational theory. 150 tries to make the public believe that most of the education fund is spent on teachers' salaries (that's the way it used to be)--these programs cost a pretty big chunk of change.
