Adamowski Salary
The Hartford Courant reported yesterday that Steven Adamowski will receive $225,000 to guide Windham Public Schools.
This coming school year, Windham teachers will not receive a raise. Windham schools showed improved test scores this past year without the help of Mr. Adamowski--although it is worth mentioning that I have great respect for the change he helped bring to Hartford Public Schools as their Superintendent. Mr. Adamowski will offer the district insights, but I can't support such a lavish salary considering the fact that Windham teachers are among the lowest paid in Connecticut.
I would like Windham teachers to be rewarded for their success last year, just as Adamowski is being rewarded for his previous success.
I don't teach because of the money, and I haven't complained nearly as often as some teachers about the low pay. But when, after eight years of teaching, I will only earn 20% of what our policy consultant earns, with no guarantee of success, I lose spirit.
