$506,322 New York Superintendent with 6,687 Kids in Her District

The New York Post reports:

This is an education in extravagance.

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.

Yet, Michael Moore and Barack Obama want to protect her salary. You'll want to read the whole article and the comments at the bottom. Carole Hankin isn't the only taxpayer problem in her school district.
