"Syosset school superintendent gets $500,000 pay package"
It's hard to find fault with one who tries to get as much as they can; however, whomever oversees this best prepare for some criticism...
Susan Edelman, Farrah Weinstein, and Ginger Adams Otis combined on this article in the New York Post:
"The Syosset Central School District, which serves an enclave of gated communities, ritzy eateries and children's boutiques like 'Spoiled Rotten,' takes the crown in employee compensation.
The school superintendent, Carole Hankin -- who oversees 6,687 kids in 10 schools -- is the highest-paid in the state with $506,322 in total compensation. She collects a $386,868 salary, $67,454 in fringe benefits and $52,000 in retirement funds and expenses including use of a "late model car," plus gas.
By contrast, New York City Chancellor Cathie Black, in charge of 1.1 million students and 1,600 schools, takes home a $250,000 salary, plus health and pension benefits. She gets a driver."
