Rick Snyder has delivered yet another lesson in what his "shared sacrifice" looks like with the hiring of the head of the statewide district for low performing schools.
The superintendent, John Covington, could earn up to $1.5 million over the next four years, according to the Detroit Free Press.
This level of pay, of course, is necessary to attract top talent, according to the governor's spokesperson.
Teachers across the state, meanwhile, are taking pay cuts and being forced to pay more for their health insurance, another form of a pay cut. Snyder isn't worried about whether top talent is attracted into the teaching positions, only into the jobs at the top.
So again, it's sacrifice for the people who do the work so that the people at the top can share in the savings. That's shared sacrifice.
