In many cases there's only one person holding a position so that's how I knew who it was. There's a database available now that wasn't available when I wrote the Zeke post. Here's a link to salary info for all PPS employees: <a href="http://oregoncapitolnews.com/govdocs/portland/portland-public-schools/?likes-dept=Atkinson&likes-class=&likes-title=&like-first_name=&like-last_name=&total=&campaign=1&page=1" rel="nofollow">http://oregoncapitolnews.com/govdocs/portland/portland-public-schools/?likes-dept=Atkinson&likes-class=&likes-title=&like-first_name=&like-last_name=&total=&campaign=1&page=1</a> Jane, I found salary information in the budget.

I've just combed through the 2010-2011 amended budget and did not find specific info for the administrators I was looking for.

He doesn't have a clue about education, process, supervision....I believe there should be some type of disclaimer about him saying don't go to him for anything he is just window dressing getting paid a lot of money.

In addition, Harriet Adair has a Ph. D in Education. It is all messed up. It is about Who You Know and how good of a kiss up you are.

There was no hiring procedure. Carole appointed him. Zeke claimed to be Asian, too. His father might be Indonesian. He also claimed to be Native American but had a hard time to prove this heritage. Carole liked the fact that Zeke could be both. She liked the fact that Kurt was Asian but Kurt turned out to be a different Asian than what she had assumed: "A model minority". Now the fact of the matter is that many of Carole's senior management staff do not have either an educational background nor an administrative license to supervise licensed staff. Robb Cowie does not have a licence. His major in college was Environmental Studies. Yet, Pat Thompson, POSA, reports to him. Judy Brennan does not have a license. Her college major was in Cultural Anthropology???(which is very doubtful considering how she acts and behaves toward her minority staff). Lolenzo Poe does not have an educational background nor a license. He is getting paid just as much as his boss, Robb Cowie. Carolyn Leonard has been with the district for more than 35 years but both Lolenzo and Robb make more money than she does. BTW, Carolyn saved the district from losing thousands of federal dollars by her efforts to create an OCR plan that was not worth the paper it was written on. The district 10-year out of compliance from 1994 to 2004 with ESL was finally settled due to Carolyn Leonard's ideas and hard work. She deserves to be with the district until she is ready to retire. At least, she had the creativity and knowledge to be able to resolve the OCR mess than the folks currently in charge.

As I recall, our current Superintendent was the very first to hold that position. She came in with some relevant qualifications; why did she not look for someone else who had these when it was her turn to hire?
