Fairfax Extends Dale's Contract
Board Gives Schools Chief 4 More Years
By Michael Alison Chandler
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, September 11, 2009
The Fairfax School Board voted last night to extend Superintendent Jack D. Dale's contract for four years, as some parent and teacher groups said they felt left out of the review process of the leadership of the region's largest school system.
In the first year of the contract, approved 7 to 3, with one abstention, Dale will receive a base salary of $292,469 to manage 22,000 employees, 173,000 students and a $2.2 billion budget. That is the same amount he was paid last fiscal year, when it was the highest base pay of any superintendent in the region. The salary is up more than $50,000 from when he took the helm in 2004.
Also unchanged in the first year will be an additional $65,500 of deferred pay invested in two retirement accounts.
Before the vote, Dale offered the School Board a presentation showing three-year improvements in average scores on standardized math and reading tests, SATs and Advanced Placement tests. He also showed reductions in achievement gaps between white students and their black and Hispanic classmates.
School Board members said they were pleased with the system's steady progress.
"The superintendent needs to be judged on the data of how the school system is doing," said School Board Chairman Kathy L. Smith (Sully). "We are on the right track."
A coalition of activists, parent groups and teachers associations, however, urged the School Board to look beyond test scores and invite more comment from the public on the superintendent's progress. "Parents want to be included in big decisions like this," Sandy Evans, co-founder of a parent-led effort to push back high school start times, told the board. "We are here to tell you we often feel marginalized, drowned out or even vilified."
Several parent groups have formed in recent years around such causes as changing the grading scale or opposing boundary changes or drug policies.
Michele Menapace, president of the county council of PTAs, said that one reason for the growing number of groups is that parents feel like "it takes 7,000 signatures on a petition" before their concerns are addressed by school officials.
The coalition did not oppose extending Dale's contract, but advocated for a shorter term.
"This looks like a sweetheart deal," said Leonard Bumbaca, president of the Fairfax Education Association, a teachers association. "It includes assurances that no other staff member can come close to."
Smith said the length of the contract reflects the importance of longevity. Research shows that the length of leadership influences the quality of a school system. And she said Dale's pay package was "competitive" with those in the area.
Dale's contract gives him raises that match the percent increase of his staff's. Because Fairfax school employees' salaries were frozen this year, his pay also was frozen.
Dale's predecessor, Daniel A. Domenech, was compensated under a different system, with bonuses awarded based on annual reviews.
Some board members said their review of the school system's performance is ongoing, and parents have the chance to air concerns in meetings throughout the year.
"We want to hear what the public has to say, but when it comes down to it, the board has the responsibility to hire and evaluate the superintendent," Smith said. "Our responsibility is to the whole community and to ensure the schools system moves forward."
F. Kevin Reynolds, former president of the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce, urged the School Board to approve the contract. "Jack Dale deserves four more years," he said. "But why take my word for it? The proof is in the student achievement data."

If worked as a CEO he would make more. Now I do not know if he could be a CEO but $292,000 is low for this area.
Now his perks could be out of this world.

The $292,469 plus the deferred $65,500 puts it at, at least, over $350,000. You figure the deferred amount is pre-tax so that probably bumps it up another $10,000 (full disclosure, I'm not an accountant or tax guy, so I'm just guessing)
NOw, this does not show what other perks he's getting. He might be guaranteed some payout on retirement, you know like "golden parachute". Could be some amount like $100,000 or million or who knows. It also doesn't include perks like vehicle, vacation, medical, travel (he might have some clause that says when he flies it is guaranteed to be first class), all these perkes could then make the real value of his contract well over $400,000.
Now, the question is, is he worth it? In my opinion, "No"!

When he was hired in 2004, his contract included (from a Washington Post article):
$237,000 annual base salary. Pay will be increased each year by the cost-of-living adjustment given to school system employees and by the systemwide average percentage step increase. The board will review the superintendent's salary each year; other increases could be awarded but would require a contract amendment.
$16,000 a year in deferred compensation.
$41,000 a year in a tax-deferred annuity.
Free automobile for business and personal use.
Paid moving expenses from Frederick County to Fairfax.
26 days' vacation and 14 days of sick leave a year.

The new base salary is 292,469. I figured the extras are at least what he had in the previous contracts, but I haven't found the new numbers yet.

Nobody has factored in the ability to use leave to go out collecting consulting and speaking fees during contract hours. He brings in people from outside FCPS and they return the favor.

Public service has turned into some kind of glamour star position. Whatever happened to duty, service and obligation? Do people not understand that there is pride in service? That there is a responsibility to those who pay for and rely on them? I guess not. When the higher echelon models this type of "greed" (I must deserve this because they gave me this position) and "get what I can based on my title" ethic, is it no wonder that they cannot attract teachers with the "duty, service, and obligation" ethic? That the teachers within the system become demoralized? Duh. Of course it doesn't help that there is often no appreciation of teachers from the parents or public either (some do appreciate, but there is a general lack of respect in our society for them). However, Jack Dale has a duty to be the model. Humility would go a long way. It all becomes a downward spiral if he does not model the values he seeks in others (if, in fact, he seeks those values). Jack Dale should be honored to be the superintendent and act like the office is something he has to aspire to. It should not be that he uses the office for his own personal gain (and that he is somehow "blessed" or "ordained" and that is why he holds the office). The fact is that many people could be doing his job (and others in Gatehouse), but they would have us believe that they are somehow "special" and that we could not possibly make the kinds of incredibly important decisions that they make. These are hardly the times for overpay and personal monetary enrichment when there is a lot of work to be done for the people who put him in his job. It would serve him well to give back a little as others are being asked to sacrifice.

Dale needs to be removed from his position and his contract nullified by the new School Board (this fall). He boasts of accomplishments that are nothing more than a reflection of the demographics of certain sections of the county. His "accomplishments" should be measured against Mt. Vernon, not McLean. Fairfax County Public School students do well because a huge percentage of them have college educated parents, not because of some brilliant initiative on the part of a detached administration.
Gatehouse should be sold and the entire administrative staff that occupy that palatially appointed complex be send to work out of moldy trailers parked behind Virginia Hills Elementary and other former schools along the Rt. 1 corridor until there are no kids anywhere in the county ensconced in "temporary" or "modular" classrooms.
Non-school based administrators should triple up in cubicles as a cost saving measure until no elementary school student is in a class larger than 24. Bus schedules and helicopter parents should not be determining the starting times of school. This should be based on solid science about the sleep needs of elementary, middle, and high school aged kids.
The deleterious disciplinary process, which has reached its apex of absurdity under Dale's leadership, should be scrapped and replaced with a fairer, simpler system in which school administrators are not quasi-police and there is no "review board" acting as a quasi-court. Students who break real laws (e.g. selling drugs) should be turned over to the police and the courts, where they'll get a better chance to reform than the students driven to suicide by boneheaded policies have. Students who break rules (e.g., insubordination, disruptive behavior) should be remediated, not subjected to draconian punishments. Students who bring their prescription drugs to school should be left alone.
Running a school system that purchases erroneous textbooks, uses poorly written instructional material downloaded from websites, hires teachers who can't put together coherent sentences in English, and can't graduate more that 85% of its general education population in the wealthiest county in the nation does not justify his compensation.

I could not have written an analysis of the situation better myself, Professor.
However, you'll have to wait until January '12 when the new SB is sworn in.
Unfortunately, there probably won't be a vote to remove Dale from the Hunter Mill rep as the Democrats from Reston and Vienna vote to recommend a Dale/Central Office sycophant and FCPS teacher for election in November.
She will join Smith and Strauss in voting to keep the man with a tan and no plan. If Velfoff is endorsed and elected, that will be 4.
Reed, Evans and McLaughlin (Braddock) will vote to terminate.
Moon abstained last time. What will he do, if he's re-elected?
Storck voted to extend Dale's contract last time. Has he seen enough yet, Mount Vernon?
What will Tammy from Lee district do?
Has Schultz from Springfield made her intentions known?
Brandon, Glassman, Allen will vote to terminate if they get endorsed and elected.
If Epstein beats Strauss, she'll a vote to terminate.
Have we left anyone out?

Look, I'm IN FCPS. Stop your bitching. I'm fine with the starting time.
Here's a hint, do your work EARLIER. And it isn't lack of sleep that causes failure or skipping. It's the fact that dealing with teachers who can't teach is an exhausting experience.
Not the early start times. And then, people who bitch about practices being so long/tiring would bitch even more. You can't practice lacrosse in the dark.

Hey, lets be honest. Teachers everywhere take it up the ass. In the poor schools they don't meet every child's need. In the rich schools they aren't smart enough. It's a no win, the people that take this job with the right intentions deserve more then they get but in this society we focus on only the negative and the perception of negative. If you can do it on your own, then quit your job and just try teaching 1-2 kids a day with no pay. Teachers work with that on an exponential level. You're a bunch of narcissistic jerks for even pretending that what teachers or even a super intendent do on a day to day basis is simple or even compensated sufficiently. Get a clue

Ok for all of the idiots that "just have to say something nice" with no specifics...("teachers are great, Jack Dale is wonderful") for no apparent reason-don't you have something better to do? It isn't about the salary, it is about the quality. If we could have good schools (not the propaganda that realtors are preaching) then a good active involved superintendent (actually the previous two were MUCH better than this one who is primarily coasting and absent), then I would want to pay twice as much to get real reform. Know what you are talking about before you just write about butterflies and rainbows.
