Who Makes What?
This information was part of a story in the PI on September 11th. Here's a link to the search function at OSPI for administrators, teachers or anyone working in K-12 education in Washington State. I want to add their last line:
"All data is provided "as is" and from public records. It is not warranted by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer or SeattlePI.com."
Or me.

I think it would be wise to start doing a bit of research like in Charleston .... at the Newsless Courier Blog.
How about tracking enrollment and administrative size over the years.
It would also be interesting to track those high level salaries at the JSCEE over the last two decades.
Nancy McGinley replaced Maria Goodloe-Johnson as Charleston Superintendent.
Here is what is at the Newsless Courier....
As long as Superintendent Nancy McGinley and her supporters on the CCSD School Board plan to "redesign" (i.e., close and consolidate) the CCSD schools, it's only right that we should move forward our own redesign plan for the administration of CCSD at 75 Calhoun.
We can give our process the hoity-toity title of "Charleston Administrative Redesign Plan," or CARP. Perhaps McGinley might understand better if we called it "The Stakeholders Administrative Redesign Plan," but, as readers know, I hate the term "stakeholders" in place of "taxpayers"; anyway, I like my acronym.
McGinley has already made arrangements to import the "edublob" (beginning with Sue Robertson of the Planning Alliance and cohorts) and milk so-called statistics from her dog-and-pony-show process while carefully protecting herself from providing any direct answers to the public questions. How unique.
We need our own criteria obviously, so I will start.
[Note: Thanks to CCSD for setting these up for me]
Administrative Redesign Criteria Definitions
I. Administration as Center of the Community: Examines how administration utilizes the facility at 75 Calhoun as a primary resource for children in CCSD and examines other uses of the facility.
A. Enrollment Decline – Tracks trends over the past 10 years in employees at 75 Calhoun versus enrollment decline in the district.
B. Minimal Administration Size – Indicates whether or not administrative office building meets or exceeds the minimum administrative requirements
C. Building Use – Reflects the other uses for the building outside of normal school hours, for example – hobnobbing with Mayor Riley.
D. Transfers Out – Measures the number of administrative employees that transfer out of the district, especially those under suspicion of wrong-doing.
This process is fun. Anyone care to join in? The next category is Educational Value. We can have a field day with that one.
How about asking present school board candidates for their opinions on CARP?
