News “CUSD provided three
enormous salary increases to two of CUSD’s most
controversial deputy Superintendents -- Dan
Crawford and David Doomey. ... Doomey (who many
believe is the person most responsible for
creating the CUSD portable classroom crisis)
admitted CUSD had provided “misinformation” to the
public as to how CUSD would fund the new
$52,000,000 administration office ... During the
recall, Crawford was roundly criticized for
publishing a letter in the O.C. Register that
grossly understated the total number of portable
classrooms actually utilized by CUSD.”

Reader critical of superintendents' compensation

Register "The front-page
article about school superintendents' salaries
reassured me of something I already knew - that
our tax dollars are once again being wasted ["O.C.
superintendents in elite pay class," News, April
24]. The salaries and benefits for these positions
are an outrage. They are paid these salaries, it
is said, because it is hard to get good people and
retain them. Maybe we should take a closer look at
those who are doing the hiring."

Register "The best quote? James
Fleming of Capistrano Unified: 'This job is hard
and demanding.' Cry me a river. Here are some hard
and demanding jobs: air traffic controller;
paralegal with a demanding boss; a guy picking
strawberries in a field for eight hours. The
superintendents think they are part executive,
part mediator and part politician. Actually, the
job is 100 percent politics. And when did those in
the teaching profession become company executives
with "lifestyles" that had to be maintained?"

Register "If there is one thing
government officials do well, in monarchies,
dictatorships or democracies, it is to ensure
their own financial well-being. It should
therefore come as no surprise that local
government bureaucrats, with their six-figure
salaries for life, have used their positions for
personal financial gains. It is absurd to compare
private-sector compensation to that of government
employees, since the latter do not have to worry
about profits; they just spend unlimited
taxpayers' money."
