Long Island gym teacher making over $500k a year

Six-Figure School Pay Hit Another Record Last Year - Empire Center for Public Policy


The highest-paid school employee was Kevin C. Donovan, a physical education teacher in the Central Islip Union Free School District in Suffolk County, who received $509,313. Central Islip’s notoriously generous teacher union contract provides retiring teachers with very large accumulated time-off payouts.

Statewide, at least 821 employees were paid $200,000 or more and at least 45 collected over $300,000.

Full pension at 55, six figures depending on the contract. It’s disgusting meanwhile inner city is making scraps comparable

So this was probably all of his accured Vacation/PTO time over the years correct?

Yes teacher pay is fukking up local budgets

Yet idiots keep approving the crazy budgets. I have a teacher in the family and besides working 180 days a year they’re doing even less work with covid going on

Good for him

I'm not TOO happy for him, considering the fact that most Long Island cacs are hella racist, but the teacher in me is glad. The level of responsibility, extra hours, time management, people management, organization, and patience it takes to be a teacher is lost on most people in the US.

Teacher yearly salaries can get into the $100,000 range if you're in a district with a decent union, and you stay in that district for a very long time (edit: and only in certain areas of the country). However, most teachers never sniff that amount of money, despite deserving it from the jump. As far as his 500k payout, he probably never took his sick days, and them shyts just kept rolling over for 30+ years.

The district I taught in decided to cap the amount of accumulated sick days the year after I got there

So that pay is just for one year?

The 500k? Hell no lol. He's proably been accumulating sick days since the '80s. Many government jobs roll over sick days every year, and pay out their value upon retirement, including some school districts.

As far as the yearly 100k mark, if you:

Have at least a Master's Degree
Are in a high cost-of-living area of the country
Are in a district with a strong teachers' union
Stay in that district for 15+ years
Take on sub coverages when your colleagues are absent
Do extracurricular clubs/activities

...then you can touch 100k yearly. Many old cac teachers play this game and stack their paper.

Long island is expensive but 500k a year is excessive
