Budget-Strapped School Administrator Cuts Own Job -- Instead of Teacher's

In Dollar Bay, Michigan, school Superintendent Robert Barrette has issued a pink slip- to himself - to help deal with the district's growing budget deficits.
It's either that or cut teachers, Barrette said. Schools are about kids. If we cut teachers we hurt the quality of education, but eliminating an administrator won't hurt kids.

Barrette makes about $100,000 per year, including benefits, but will recommend his own termination at a school board meeting in March.
I cost money, Barrette said. I've looked at everything else but there's just not a lot to cut in our budget.
Dollar Bay has 19 teachers and 262 students. A principle will take on the superintendent's duties.
