Informative Chronicle corrections
An interesting correction appeared in the Chronicle yesterday:
Kay Stripling, former HISD superintendent, made $200,000 as interim superintendent and $250,000 when she became superintendent. Abe Saavedra, the interim superintendent, makes $212,000 and, according to his lawyer, is seeking a salary of near $271,000, which would be a raise of about 28 percent. An editorial on Page B8 in Tuesday's City & State section incorrectly stated the salaries. Also, district enrollment declined this year, contrary to a statement in the editorial.
Yikes! Who wrote the editors' editorial?
Here's the first sentence in that editorial:
At a time when the Houston Independent School District is gaining enrollment, and thousands of students have been pitched from the Children's Health Insurance Program, the district reduced the number of school nurses.
So the first point in the first sentence is wrong. That's some quality journalism!
I think it's safe to say that we learned more about the HISD superintendent salary question by reading the correction, than we did by wading through the endless paragraphs of editorial blathering.
In related news, Abe Saavedra is expected to be confirmed as HISD superintendent this afternoon.
