Declan O'Scanlon described the salaries in the network as 'shockingly high'
A fourth New Jersey state senator has joined a growing bipartisan drumbeat calling for a state investigation into an embattled public charter school network found to be paying its officials “shockingly high” salaries.
“This salary, $697,528, is a real shock,” O’Scanlon said in a press release issued by his office Thursday. “It’s extremely confusing in this instance why there is such an inflated salary here. It’s clear that some real digging needs to be done.” “If you take CAPS out of the equation, the average salary for a chief executive officer for a charter management organization is $257,000 in total compensation,” O’Scanlon said in the press release. “For school-based chief school administrators, it’s lower, around $161,000. Both in line, or lower than executive salaries you’d expect to see in education.”
O’Scanlon also said he’s “actively working with NJPCSA on potential legislation to make the operation salaries paid to these organizations more accessible and transparent. That ought to prevent anything such as this from happening again.”The state Department of Education declined comment Thursday when asked about the calls for an investigation.
