I was reading The Texas Tribune today, September 7,2012. I found an interesting article:"Texas Schools Chief Michael Williams Will Make $215 K" containing in depth information about
Governor Perry appointing Chief Michael Williams the Commissioner over Texas
schools. I thought it would be of interest to you. Governor Perry increased the
salary of this position from $186,300 to the current salary of $215,000. The
salary increase of about $29,000 over his predecessor, the governors’ office
confirmed. I truly think that the raise that was given to Chief Michael
Williams came from the money we saved from closing our children’s schools. Or
did it come from the Rainy Day Fund? I have an issue with this.The schools are
overcrowded and I truly believe that this makes it more challenging for the
children now and in the future to get a proper
education.
