i’m really fascinated in watching the progress of this charter school in nyc. they have put together an amazing financial model in which starting teachers’ salary is $125,000 – about 2 1/2 times the national average. pretty incredible, and even more so when you investigate that they are managing this without any private funding and by cutting down on administrative positions and starting principals at salaries significantly less than teachers. the nyt has an interesting article. i’ll be anxious to see how this pans out.
