Olsen, who retired as Framingham High School principal in 2004, earns $87,311 a year in pension income and makes $140,000 a year in his new position....
Eugene Thayer... earns $192,000 a year as superintendent of Framingham schools.... His pension is worth an additional $85,000 a year"

"Education commissioner earns praise but no raise" by Vivian Nereim, Globe Correspondent | June 24, 2009
The state Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education won praise yesterday during his first annual review, but no raise, because of the economy.
He didn't need one. Keep a teacher's aide!
In past years, such a review might have resulted in a raise for Chester, said JC Considine, a spokesman for the department. In 2005, then-commissioner David P. Driscoll received a 4 percent raise; in 2006, he received a 5.625 percent increase. Because of the recession, Chester’s salary will remain at $206,000 a year....
Oh, gee, that's a PRETTY GOOD RAISE while the state is BLEEDING RED! Maybe not then -- so they told us -- but look at where we are now. This guy's salary is set on that!
And this is our EJERKASHUN SEKTUR? They LOOT THERE, too?
Not just Mass: 700 NYC teachers are paid to do nothing
Now you kids and teachers (and parents) are going to luv him evin more:
"State issues new rules on missed school days; Ice storms, swine flu tested fairness of waiver process" by Nandini Jayakrishna, Globe Correspondent | June 24, 2009
The state commissioner of elementary and secondary education, Mitchell D. Chester, urged school districts to begin the academic year before Labor Day, to have a one weeklong break in March instead of breaks in February and April, and to notify parents, teachers, and staff in advance that vacations might be canceled if the district has to make up an inordinate number of days.
In his memorandum, Chester also suggested scheduling more makeup days.... Chester’s memo about expanding the school year beyond 185 days probably would require renewing contract negotiations with unions, which might be difficult to achieve, said Roseli S. Weiss, superintendent of the Narragansett Regional School District.
You gonna PAY 'EM MORE, or.... and I'M SURE KIDS are going to be HAPPY about the EXTRA SCHOOL TIME!!
You SHOULDA SEEN 'EM RUNNING DOWN the STREET HERE yesterday -- the LAST DAY of SCHOOL!!!!!!
Yup, they will want MORE TIME in the PRISON without BARS and LESS VACATION TIME!!
You CAN'T LET KIDS PLAY, can ya?
State is getting closer and closer to being up your whazoo 24-7!
Weiss and others said that parents would be likely to resist the idea of settling for only one vacation in March. Eliminating holidays is also likely to result in increased absenteeism, Weiss said.
“The February and April breaks are pretty traditional breaks and changing that takes a lot of time,’’ said Loxi Calmes, superintendent of the Lunenburg school district....
That's FLU SEASON!
If the kid is gonna have swine, WHY CUT the BREAKS?
--more--"
