John Currie, the new superintendent of the Rosemount / Apple Valley / Eagan school district, will be making $160k/year. It's a big district and it's probably a lot of work, so it doesn't seem like that crazy high of a salary to me.

According to this article in the Pioneer Press, not everyone thinks so:

Several in the audience even said the district, with its $200 million budget, wasn't paying Currie enough compared to private CEOs.

"It seems really low," said Michelle Snare, a Rosemount parent at the meeting. "

"I'm worried we're taking advantage of him," Snare said.

Whaaa?! I thought we were all supposed to be upset because private (and public) CEOs were all making way, way too much money. And now some people are trying to say that we're 'taking advantage' of people by not compensating them according to the same obscene CEO pay scales? Has the world gone mad?

• Bubble hasn't burst yet on CEO salaries despite the times
• CEO salaries, bonuses keep rising
• In the World of Huge CEO Salaries, Failure Doesn't Matter
• Moves afoot to curb CEO Salaries

Again I say, whaa?!
