DOES KATY ISD REALLY NEED TWELVE ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENTS?
Not only does the superintendent get paid handsomely, more than the Federal Joint Chiefs of Staff, but so do all the other chiefs at the ESC.
Why do we need TWELVE assistant superintendents? The immediate question that comes to mind is, "What is left for Alton Frailey to do besides write tirades blasting local citizens who think he is doing a really bad job of managing the District?"
