John Deasy tells board to cut his salary by $55,000
From The Los Angeles Times: The incoming Los Angeles schools superintendent has told the school board to withhold part of his $330,000 salary because of serious projected budget shortfalls. John Deasy will not forgo his entire salary but will instead keep receiving the pay — $275,000 — he has been getting as deputy superintendent. The $55,000 difference represents a nearly 17 percent reduction.
