Too many high paid super intendents who have very little impact education. At least in Oklahoma. Yukon, Piedmont and Atoka (smallish towns) have SIs making 180k which is absurd salary for this state.

So this salary being higher than normal, which I'm not refuting, is casuing what educational problems?
Salary available for those who actually teach.
Is 180k high for people I assume have a masters degree and 10+ years of experience?
It is high if they don't have any skills that people would willingly pay them that much for with their own money.
In Oklahoma and with tax payer dollars? yes.
