> In my city, school district administrators are multimillionaires. In many more cities, they aren't. Furthermore, I don't necessarily see what the problem is. Are public employees necessarily supposed to live as paupers? Government agencies can't just tell the people they want to work for them that they have to do so. They have to offer a competitive salary and benefits package. Many school administrators are operating organizations with hundreds, if not thousands, of employees and hundreds of millions of dollars in assets, with heavy regulatory requirements. Many have masters or doctoral degrees. The same would be demanded by other schooling providers, because that stuff doesn't magically go away when you let people compete for tax dollars.
