Certain people who work for the public school system in Fairfax County, Virginia are making an absolute fortune. They have a dedicated ‘Chief Equity Officer’ who makes almost $300,000 per year, but the lion’s share goes to the school superintendent who makes a whopping $469K a year, more than the President of the United States. The salary for the US President is a lowly $400,000 per year. President Trump continues to donate his salary to White House and renovation projects. You can thank Trump for making DC beautiful again! On top of all these huge salaries, the Fairfax County district is experiencing declining enrollment. What are we even doing here? The Daily Signal reports:
Fairfax County Public Schools Chief Equity Officer Nardos King makes $288,064 this year—more than every single member of the president’s Cabinet—Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, all of them—each of whom earns $253,100 to run a federal department. King’s job is to oversee equity initiatives for one county’s school system. Virginia’s largest public school district holds “equity” at the center of its strategic plan, and King is just one of ten district “chiefs” whose salaries clear that bar. A public records request revealed that 13 Fairfax County Public School employees earn more than the U.S. Secretary of Education.
