"The salary of finance director Jan Klein increased from $129,179 to $133,054." This is an increase of $3875, or 3%.http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/neighborhoods-south/mt-lebanon-school-officials-given-raises-646316/
or Far Exceeds Expectations.
From my blog:

2. Ms. Klein would then get a "bonus" which was literally an extra check. If she was to get a 3% raise on top of the adjustment, she would not get an increase in salary but would receive a single check for that increase. A bonus.
...she always got the COLA "class" adjustment plus a fat 4.5% salary bonus every year.
Did you know Jan Klein teaches at CMU too?

Looks like I had it right, Josephine. I stand by my words. Unfortunately, you tried to discredit me on TV.

"We charge students for parking, so that our administrators can get their raises."
Their doubling it this year so that administrators can get their raises.
The televised meeting captured the true blue Mrs. Cappucci and Mrs. Posti during your time, Elaine. I wouldn't worry.
She got a three percent raise and a bonus. A bonus is not a raise,it doesn't compound on any future raises. Big business love bonuses for that reason.
OK, she got a 3% raise AND a bonus. My question is why? They implemented the student parking fee so that programs weren't cut.
Timmy got his raise. Why? 20 administrators received raises. Why? According to Elaine Cappucci, I must have missed those meeting discussions. And The Almanac, PG, and Trib had all reported last year how the board struggled with cutbacks. Puleeze.

Oops, i should have included this year's article from The Almanac. They should run the same copy every year but change the date.
Mt. Lebanon school board struggles to close budget gap
Elaine
The school board needs to close its checkbook.
Don't pity them; the whole community is paying for their ridiculous decisions that have little to do with education. The time may have come to separate education and athletics.
So technically you didn't have it right. You would hold the SB to the higher standard and excoriate them for getting in wrong
Getting in wrong?
Josephine Posti claimed that I didn't have both articles in my blog. I got it right. I listed both of them. If you did the math, you would have found that Klein's paycheck was 6.9% higher than the year before. So before you "excoriate" me and quibble over semantics, why don't you come up with a way to stop the overspending? This trend is not sustainable.

Elaine, you're engaging in a debate with people that accept a $1,000,000 tax hike is like a zero dollar tax hike.
These are also the same people that believe that doubling the student parking fee is all for the kids.
If the family can afford a car for the kid they can afford a parking fee to pay administrator raises.One hundred dollars is reasonable.
2:16 if the administrator can afford a Lexus they can afford to pay for parking without a raise.
Let's charge $690 to park a Lexus. Adults should pay their fair share.
Who the hell does 2:16 think they are?
Not everyone is set, maybe the kid inherited a car, maybe they're working their tail off and the car is the transportation to an after school job.
But you know everybody's financial and personal situation don't you 2:16!
Well, here's something we do know 2:16, we're paying our staffers a good wage and good benefits.
If they can't pony up $100 a year for parking, who can?
So 2/:16 take you smart attitude and try it out on the administration and staff.
Hmmm, so 2:16 thinks that if you can afford a car for the kid, that automatically makes it OK to pick the families pocket for $100 for administrative raises. Interesting, now who would care that much about administrative raises that they'd have no second thoughts about their neighbors having to fork over a hundred bucks?
Doncha just love how some people think they can decide how and on what you spend your money!
