how much does Linda Farbry-Tim Parker (PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY) "earn".....I am a lowly bus driver affected by salary indiscretions--just curious as I eat baked beans and they obviously are well fed...

Are these the folks at FCPS Transportation Office?

As many posting here know, I am no fan of Linda Palmer Farbry.

She never met a piece of chocolate she didn't like.

Due to the sedentary nature of the job, bus drivers typically have BIG GUTS and BIG BUTTS.

I'll try to find out for you.

sedentary nature of the job, obviously you've never done the job. They sit to drive but they do alot of physical work,espiecally if they work for SE,tying down wheelchairs,assising challenged children. I do agree though many of these drivers do need to lose butt,and tummy.(slight subject change)carry on!!

Dean Tistadt makes $204,706. While no raise in from 2009, he was making $186,384 in 2007.

Did teachers get a 10% raise over this time period?

DIVISION SUPT $292,469
DEPUTY SUPT $209,358
DIVISIONWIDE COUNSEL $181,775

Bus Driver Salary
Beginning Hourly $16.91
Maximum Hourly $29.77

Beginning teacher salary: $44,389
Maximum teacher salary: $92,094

Remember benefits add a lot, like over 42%:
Hypothetical Teacher Salary $60,000
Social Security 7.65% $4,590
Virginia Retirement System (VRS) 14.85% $8,910
Employees' Supplementary Retirement System
of Fairfax County (ERFC3.20% $1,920
Life Insurance State 0.56% $336
Health Insurance: POS - Family Coverage 16.05% $9,630
Name: Care First Blue Choice POS 2009
Total Benefits 42.31% $25,386
Total Salary and Benefits $85,386

I have done the job and I probably started with FCPS before Linda did. I worked for FCPS my senior year of high school.

It is obvious that you don't know the meaning of the word sedentary. It comes from the present participle of sedere, the infinitive in Latin for to sit. You, Mary, might be an exception, but most drivers operate their buses while seated.

I was trained as a special ed and regular ed driver.

Mr. Bulbous nose (not quite red yet, so I don't know if he has "the problem.") is overpaid. He is the consummate bureaucrat. In my case, he displayed no courage.

There was no evidence that I had done what a deranged parent accused me of having done for a very good reason: I hadn't done it.

Dean is a gutless toad. I am employed by another school system, but I have yet to disclose my ordeal. If FCPS learned where I was working, there is no doubt that vindictive folks like Linda and Dean would pass along the fabricated dirt.

Yes, they are that mean.

Don't be hating on Tim Parker! He's a great guy that has helped me many times over my 20+ years.

Although Mr Tistadt is Supt. for Facilities AND Transportation, I think his main focus is the facilities part. I doubt he has much involvement in bus driver personnel issues, that's Farbry's job.

I like Mr Tistadt. I'll skip the story, but he once happened upon me violating a policy. I thought, "Oh shit, I'll be in the office explaining this.". It wasn't a really big deal, but I was clearly in the wrong. I never heard a word about it.

As far as Mr Tistadt being "gutless", I know a man that served with him in Vietnam that would disagree.

Dean Tistadt in Vietnam - that was then, this is now.
