MCPS superintendent raise: Do not re-elect school board - August 5, 2010 Letter to the editor of the Missoulian

MCPS superintendent raise: Do not re-elect school board

Click on the link above to read a letter to the Missoulian regarding MCPS salaries.
Louise Jones' letter to the editor addresses the 20% raise to Superintendent Apostle in 2010. 

A quote from the letter states: 
"These are the folks who unanimously supported the 20 percent raise (including benefits) of Alex Apostle: Scott Bixler, Adam Duerk, Debbie Dupree, Shelly Wills, Marcia Holland, Joseph Knapp, Drake Lemm, Nancy Pickhardt, Toni Rehbein, James Sadler and Joe Toth."
Right on Louise! 
Louise speaks for many Missoulians who were also outraged about the raise given to Superintendent Apostle in January of 2013.
The Trustees that voted for the raise in 2013 were -  
Debbie Dupree, Shelly Wills, Marcia Holland, Joseph Knapp, Drake Lemm, and James Sadler and Toni Rehbein. (Was Scott Todd on the Board?)
This list is not complete - need to work on it.  Note - Scott Bixler and Joe Toth are not on the 2013 list. 
Adam Duerk did not vote on the superintendent raise in 2013 as he had resigned before the vote or was in the process of resigning. This means that only six elementary trustees voted - if they were all present.
If Bixler and Toth did not vote for the 2013 raise for Apostle it would have been the FIRST time that they hadn't (quite sure on this).
