[Vision2020] School Administration and Oversight (from the BLog)

[J Ford]

Challenge (again) to Dale and all the other bloat-masters at the CC, Logos 
and NSA - GIVE US YOUR WAGE EARNINGS, which should include any and all 
benefit packages.

Also, please include any and all educational background that enables you to 
be teaching in these "institutions".

And lastly, what is Doug Wilson's wages and benefits?

Bet we don't see ANY response to this challenge - its been made before and 
we have yet to see any results.  Note:  ALL said wages and bennies are paid 
for by the patrons of the Christ Church - and they are NOT given any kind of 
break-down or wage/earnings statements on any of the teachers or admin 
people in those institutions.

Put THAT info on your blog, Courtney!
