USA PROUD, we all make career choices. I find it interesting that you would think teachers can't make it in the real world. I think 6 years of college is enough to make it. Flipping roles, I will bet seeing you try to teach in the classroom would be a treat! It is easy to sit back and have a negative opinion without realizing the amount of work involved in this profession. As mentioned we all make choices. P.S Not all teacher come close to making 100K!!

Uhh… okay, because that’s relevant to this article, which is about RCSD Administrative expenses… Not teachers’ salaries or Molly Clifford…

Isn't that nice. While the Rochester Police Department continues to work without a contract (over 1.5 years) with no raises in sight and after 3 officers were shot. To add to this nonsense, the police department led the way for the city to save 12 million dollars in health care costs. The city continues to cry poverty and it's officer will be lucky to see even a 3 percent raise if it ever happens. Nice to be a teacher or a friend of Bob Duffy's (Molly Clifford).

"All that money spent and still those poor kids cannot get a decent lunch." We're talking about schools, not McDonalds. The priority should be on educating the children and nothing else.

The school board did a major footbullet with this guy Brizzard. Note to city residents: next time a vote comes up for a school board member, please consider voting for someone who can make a difference. It is quite possible that this will involve voting for someone not affiliated with your political party, but you really should be putting our children's future in better hands.
