Administrators Gone Wild!!!

....or, late night TV's least popular video series.

The parade starts in Tacoma, home of the aroma, where a former district official has had her named sent off to OSPI's Office of Professional Practices for lying about her doctorate.

We then shimmy over to beautiful Lake Washington, home of Kevin Teeley, where firing principal Mark Robertson for viewing porn on his computer is setting up to cost the district tens of thousands of dollars. He was also the single-most grived administrator in the district. Hooray, Mark!

In bautiful Vashon Island they've put their superintendent on paid leave while the school board asks State Auditor Brian Sonntag to come in and investigate some odd things in their budget. It seems kind of weird to give your super a paid vacation if nothings wrong; one wonders what the fire will be behind the smoke.

And while it's not an administrator story, it's admin money: The WIAA has passed a resolution regarding gifts to coaches after it came out that Bellevue's coach was making $5,600 off of his coaching contract and $55,000 from an arrangement he had with the booster club. The Bright-Eyed Optimist Award is handed out for this quote:
"I think it's the first step," Lakeside athletic director Ed Putnam said. "The schools ought to be involved in anything that involves pay to coaches. It deals with the whole parity issue. The haves and have-nots is not something we want to get into."
Meanwhile, here in reality, things will go along as they always have.
