OBS, MAKING A LOT OF
MONEY.
NANC ADDING MIDDLE SCHOOL
TRACK MEET -- PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT
THEIR KIDS AND THE FUTURE OF THE
ALBUQUERQUE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
>> THINGS SEEM TO BE TOP HEAVY
IN THE ADMINISTRATION AS FAR AS
SALARIES AND THINGS GO.
MATT: --
NANCY: AND THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT
THE BACK AND FORTH FIGHTING
BETWEEN APS AND THE STATE.
APS SAYS THEY'RE FACING AT LEAST
$12 MILLION IN BUDGET CUTS FROM
THE STATE, SO THE DISTRICT IS
CUTTING JOBS AND PROGRAMS TO
SAVE MONEY ALL THINGS THAT
EFFECT YOUR KIDS.
BUT THE STATE HAS BEEN
CRITICAL, PUBLICLY CRITICAL, OF
THE DISTRICT'S SPENDING.
THE PUBLIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
SAYS THE DISTRICT CAN SAVE MONEY
BY CUTTING AT THE TOP.
THE STATE SENT ME DOCUMENTS
COMPARING APS'S SIX FIGURE
STAFFERS FROM 2011 AND 2016.
SIX YEARS AGO THERE WERE 20
PEOPLE MAKING MORE THAN $100,000
A YEAR.
THE TOTAL ABOUT $2.5 MILLION.
NOW THE TRUTH -- DISTRICT SPENT
$1 MILLION A YEAR TO PAY 35 TOP
ADMINISTRATORS MORE THAN
$100,000 A YEAR.
THE HEAD OF THE APS FOOD
SERVIC SIX YEARS AGO, SHE MADE
$75,000.
NOW, $106,000 FOR BILL --
$106,000.
>> I DON'T KNOW OF ANY OTHER
SCHOOL DISTRICT IN NEW MEXICO
THAT HAS A CHIEF OPERATIONS
OFFICER THAT OVERSEES 146
SCHOOLS.
NANCY: SUPERINTENDENT RAQUEL
REEDY IS DEFENDING HER STAFF,
AND THEIR SALAIRES
>> WE LOOK AT DISTRICTS THAT A
OF COMPARABLE SIZE WITHIN THE
SURROUNDING AREA.
WE CHECK AND SEE HOW DOES THIS
MATCH WHAT OTHER URBAN DISTRICTS
OF THIS SIZE ARE PAYING.
AND USUALLY WE'RE A LITTLE BIT
LOWER.
NANCY: WE TOOK A REALLY CLOSE
LOOK AT ALL THESE STAFFERS WHO
MAKE MORE THAN $100,000.
AND IT APPEARS SOME OF THESE
POSITIONS HAVE SIMILAR JOB
TITLES.
FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S A CHIEF
TECHNOLOGY OFFICER, AND
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
TECHNOLOGY.
EACH MAKE MORE THAN $100,000 A
YEAR.
APS SAYS THE JOBS AREN'T
DUPLICATES, THE DISTRICT MANAGES
A LARGE TECH NETWORK, AND THOSE
EMPLOYEES ARE NEEDED AND HAVE
DIFFERENT RESPONSIBILITIES.
BUT IN A TIME WHEN BUDGETS ARE
TIGH
WOULD THERE BE A POSSIBILITY OF
SOME OF YOUR SIX FIGURED
EMPLOYEES TAKING A SALARY PAY
CUT?
>> ONE OF THE OPTIONS WAS
FURLOUGH FOR EMPLOYEES.
FURLOUGH FOR OUR EMPLOYEES, SO
THAT CERTAINLY IS IN THE REHLM
-- THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY.
NANC APS WANTS TO SIT DOWN
WITH THE STATE TO TALK ABOUT HOW
