I did search by school. Nothing under GREG Jones. James Jones however appears to be the correct person. Is Greg a middle name?
Ya these guys only work like 70 hrs a week
Your taxes are paying for it so you should be able to see it
Jones is also an admin. And level of education matters too. Not uncommon for someone like him, in a district that pays that well, to make that coin being an admin and head football coach. The others you mentioned are teachers, not admin.
I think more and more districts are trying to get away from admin coaching anything, bigger districts anyway.
Not necessarily true... Some districts will make an exception to the rule to hire a head coach. An example would be NKC hiring Fred Bouchard to Staley. By making them an administrator you can sweeten the pot.
Coach B was hand selected to help open that school and start that program, Coach Douglas at NKCHS is also in admin I think. I know it sweetens the pot but it can also cause some conflicts on interest and time. Staley will be on their 2nd coach since Fred and neither will have been in Admin, at least at Staley. Maybe it happens more than I think or know.
I don't think he is admin, he teaches Strength and Conditioning and maybe some other PE
You're right...he was "hand selected." But his administrative position was part of the package necessary to get him to take the job. From what I have been told, he was not a particularly good administrator. It does create a potential conflict of interest.
Probably all on how you define "good". I can't imagine Fred was all that awesome at implementing curriculum changes or developing ways to track what teachers are doing in the classroom. But Fred could build a quality relationship with a fence post and empower someone to do their job to the best of their ability. That's sort of a lost art in the day and age where nerds and "high-level" thinkers have taken over.
In no way did I intend for my comments to be personal. I only know of Coach Bouchard. I do know a lot of people that worked with him during that time period so my knowledge of that situation is sound. It simply is not a good idea to allow a head coach to also have an administrative position.
In his days at Culver, he actually taught curriculum classes in the education department. Very good teacher and administrator.
As John Belushi said in Animal House:
There are numerous ways for a coach to be paid a higher salary or total compensation. Some districts pay by years of experience, some pay a percentage of the teachers salary. Employees are paid based on years of experience and how much education they have. Coaches can also monitor the weight room, teach summer school, be a department head, or be involved in other programs with a stipend that will end up with a large composite salary.
