Ever hear of Niles Township Community High School District? Neither had I. It's somewhere in Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. It is, however, the best place in America to be a teacher or school administrator.
The top dog in Niles Township is a man named Neil Codell. His annual salary is: $885,327. That's NOT a typo. His salary is almost a million a year to manage a high school district. Yup; poor, under-paid teachers and all that.
Oh yes. When Mr. Codell retires, his 1st year's retirement pay will be $601,798; it is never less. And that's not a typo either. His pension is valued at over $26 million payable to him in retirement.
How can that be you ask? Keep voting for liberals who are funded by teacher's and government worker's unions and there will be more and more of that. And less and less for you.
