Nothing wrong with that. Managing a school system, especially the one as big as Ridgewood’s, is enormous responsibility. It should be compensated in line with free market rules.
I’d argue the government should get out of the education system altogether. Any artificial floors or ceilings government rules create cause more harm than good. For example the Teachers Unions that reduce competition. Getting promotions with tenor has been practically eradicated in the private sector. It’s role-based promotions now, given to best applicants. Not so amongst teachers.
