Cleveland School Head Takes 10% Cut In Pay
Cleveland School Superintendent Paul W. Briggs and six top administrators will take a 10 percent pay cut for three months. The move saves about $6,000 annually amid a multi‑million dollar deficit and aims to highlight financial strain. The school board cut non teaching jobs, drawing criticism for not touching administrators. Briggs says real reductions require across the board changes and cites three ballot issues including a 4 mill renewal levy a $50 million bond issue and an additional tax levy.
