Introduction, >Journal of the K-12 Revolution: Essays and Research from Minneapolis, Minnesota<, Volume VIII, Number 10, April 2022

In the succeeding articles, readers will find a complete list of all staff by position and salary at the Minneapolis Public Schools as of March 2022.  There have been a few changes since that temporal juncture, but current staffing is substantially the same as was the case in March.

 

I have organized the articles so as to give the updates in Article #1 for those receiving more than $100,000 in annual salary per year;  in Article #1, I give the updates for those in the $90,000-plus and $80,000-plus categories;  in Article #3, the updates for the $70,000-plus and $60,000-plus categories;  in Article #4, the updates for the $40,000 and $30,000-plus categories;  and in Article #5, the updates for the $30,000-Plus, $20,000-Plus, and Under $20,000 Categories.

 

Currently, 518 staff members are employed at the Davis Center.  Number of people working at various salary levels is given as follows  >>>>>

Over the last three years there has been a return to the phenomenon of bureaucratic creep;  at one point, number of staff members at the Davis Center had declined to approximately four hundred fifty (450).  But since that juncture, positions such as Deputy Senior Academic Officer, Executive Officer for Teaching and Learning, District Program Facilitator, and School Success Program Assistants have been added---  all in the chronically ineffective Academic Division of the Minneapolis Public Schools.

 

Readers of this Journal of the K-12 Revolution:  Essays and Research from Minneapolis, Minnesota;  my blog (http://www.newsalemeducation.blogspot.com);  and my book, Understanding the Minneapolis Public Schools:  Current Condition, Future Prospect;  know that upon fulfillment of my advocacy for overhauled curriculum as actually implemented in the classroom and training of teachers capable of imparting knowledge-intensive curriculum, not even a pretense for maintaining the Department of Teaching and Learning, the great bulk of the Academic Division, can be made.  That department and much of the Academic Division can be jettisoned, along with the merely nominal Office of Black Student Achievement; and the legislatively mandated Department of Indian Education can be slimmed as to staff and reinvented as an academically serious entity.

 

With those comments taken as point of departure, now please proceed to the succeeding articles giving the various levels of annual remuneration for staff employed at the Davis Center.
