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

Sat Mar 24 22:05:44 PDT 2007

A.  Nope.

B.  I am not paid by anyone publicly nor am I a member of an organization 
that really should be required to disclose this kinda info to those paying 
me.  Other churches do so.  Those that do pay me know what I am paid.  
Guarantee you those at CC, parents of those at Logos and NSA do NOT know 
what their "teachers" are paid much less what benefit packages they get.  
GUARANTEE!

C.  If its so "noninvasive and reasonable" - you first!  And of course the 
challenge stands - especially since you seem to think it IS "noninvasive and 
reasonable."
