You gotta love school superintendents and their lawyers!
You will hear/read about the Jericho School District Superintendent "taking" a 5-year pay freeze, splashed all over Newsday the other day. But before you start considering this to be some magnanimous gesture made in sympathy for Jericho's poor, beleaguered (actually, fat & wealthy) taxpayers, apply some critical thinking.
By "taking" a 5-year salary freeze now, the Jericho Superintendent has masterfully accomplished two things strictly in his own selfish interest:

Can't you hear Meatloaf singing, up in Jericho, four years from now:
"I'm praying for the end of time...
...so I can end my time with you!"
Not amused,

By "taking" a 5-year salary freeze now, the Jericho Superintendent has masterfully accomplished two things strictly in his own selfish interest:
- He has secured his job in Jericho for the next FIVE years!
- He has dodged the pending Superintendent Pay Cap by inculcating his current salary--which is WAAAY over that cap--into contract language which is unassailable by an pay-cap legislation for the next FIVE years!
