“Dr. Gomez brings a high level of enthusiasm and a zest for learning to her new role,” said SAISD Superintendent Dr. Carl Dethloff. “Farrah is highly collaborative and utilizes her experiences as both a secondary and elementary principal to support and lead professional learning that enhances classroom instruction. Dr. Gomez will continue to build our human capital as a district to benefit student success and keep our classrooms flourishing with talented educators. We look forward to watching her soar in this new role.”

PermalinkAssistant Superintendent of Human Resources and Professional Learning??? What the heck is professional learning? Someone actually got paid to come up with this title? I guess school districts have to do something with those who get their PhD, so they just make something up. She's probably getting at or near a 6 figure salary as well.
After a little research, SAISD website confirms the 6 figure salary. Altogether, the top 16 administrative positions, excluding the Supt. of Schools, are earning, at the mid-point range, approximately $1.7 million per year.
Wow....
