Most media coverage of LAUSD tends to be fairly short-lived, with little lasting repercussions. Finally today, the L.A. Daily News has let the cat out of the bag, publishing a story about the disparity in administrator and teacher salaries. What’s more, is that they’ve published a searchable database for every LAUSD employee (which is legal because our salaries are technically public records). So, does that mean you can actually look up my salary? Absolutely. As you can probably guess, lots of people are ticked at this, which seems like an invasion of privacy, but hey, we’re public employees, and the public has a right to know how LAUSD is spending their money. Bring it on!
