Dearest reader,
Step 3 of the Dryden Community Schools ledger is a short one.
According to the district's 2024-25 employee compensation disclosure, just ONE employee appears above the $100,000 reporting threshold:
🏫 Superintendent
Gross Pay: $148,600
Total District Expense: $226,311
That total includes:
💰 Gross Pay — $148,600
🏦 Retirement — $50,016
🏥 Health Insurance — $10,377
📋 FICA — $11,368
🦷 Dental Insurance — $1,292
👓 Vision Insurance — $258
🛡� Life Insurance — $300
📑 Long-Term Disability — $1,100
⚙️ Workers' Compensation — $3,000
Total: $226,311
And Lady B believes context matters.
Unlike some of the larger districts that have appeared in this ledger, Dryden does NOT have a long list of employees above the disclosure threshold.
There is one.
That is what the district's own report shows, and that is what goes in the ledger.
No embellishment necessary.
Sometimes the receipt is a page long.
Sometimes it's one line. 🪶
With receipts and respect. 💋
