COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) -

The salary for the interim superintendent of the Muscogee County School District has been decided. 

During a special meeting, the school board approved a one-year contract for Dr. John Phillips at just over $17,000 a month.

Wow! 

That is a lot of money to be an interim superintendent.

Don't get us wrong, I have nothing against Dr. Phillips whom we know and respect. 

It is a majority of the school board that is having a hard time keeping our respect.

We have a hard time visualizing that they only have the education of our kids in mind after their recent actions on the board.
