How Many Assistants Are Too Many Assistants?

I want to share with you something that I shared with my fellow active/retired teachers. YOU DO have a "dog in this fight" as 14% of teacher salaries that go to the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio each year are from public taxpayers! The other 14% is matched by each teacher.

Below is the Fiscal Year salary schedule of some of Ohio STRS employees that your money goes to.

Did you notice how many "Assistants" are on YOUR payroll? You might want to share this with another Ohio taxpayer.
