Detroit Public Schools: Doubles the Number of $100K-Plus Employees From 2009 to 2010

Michigan Capitol Confidential reports:

Detroit Public Schools revamped its pay scale for its principals in 2010, and that led to twice as many DPS employees earning six-figure salaries, according to school salary documents.

In 2009, Detroit Public Schools had 50 employees making six figures, including three principals. In 2010, that number of $100,000-plus employees jumped to 99 and included 52 principals. The district's deficit grew from $110 million in 2010 to today’s $327 million.

Great moments in public education.
