Last year, James Hammond, the superintendent of the Montclair-Ontario Unified School District in the Inland Empire, was paid $492,077. Jonathan Eagan, the principal of a junior high school in the Bay Area city of Martinez made $279,669.
And 31 custodians at California public schools were paid more than $100,000 in 2013.
That is a sample of statistics found in a newly released online database that allows users to search and download detailed employee compensation figures for superintendents, teachers, principals and other staff members at school districts across the state.
The figures were added to Transparent California, which compiles compensation data for a variety of public sector employees. The education section of the website is composed of more than 581,000 individual compensation records from last year for about two-thirds of districts statewide.
The California Policy Center, a Tustin-based, nonpartisan think tank that operates the database, submitted Public Records Act requests with more than 1,058 school systems, but have so far only received data from 653, said Jordan Bruneau, a spokesman for the center.
The Los Angeles Unified School District, the second-largest system in the nation, has yet to provide the documents.

How come that can’t happen at San Bernardino Unified?
I looked at the site with the database.
It does have to be taken with a grain of salt since the data seems to be cherry picked rather than fully displayed.
There is no info on the miserable pay for San Bernardino Unified, but listing that would not spotlight their point. I don’t like cherry picked data.
BUT
One thing I did learn that pisses me off is All Checkpoints (They claim DUI) Leads to Police and Fire overtime pay.
AND
When the Police Chief goes on the news and claims All those cops you see at XYZ’s funeral… had the day off! Trying to convince us that no taxpayers dollars are being wasted.
Very deceiving;
The Police Chief gave the cops the day off with pay…. so they could attend their fellow cops funeral.
I’m starting to think Cops and Firefighters are corrupt.
Firefighter:
Base Pay:$88,126.04
Overtime Pay:$100,124.37
Verify that people.
And they blame the teachers.
Way too much money for feckless leadership that can not show any efficacy for their efforts.
“feckless”
ewww… a Fox News Parrot.
Dear Anon, here is another one for you…CRETIN. Sorry my vocabulary is gleaned from material I read, not the ramblings of network talking heads. But it if it makes you fell better, there are no big words, just small minds.
