Over the last three years, the head of a small charter school network that serves fewer than 1,000 students has taken home up to $870,000 annually, a startling amount that appears to be the highest for any public school superintendent in the state. bit.ly/3DwxnXX

Considering submitting a session proposal for this year's Texas Council for the Social Studies Conference. Curious to know—how much interest is there in North Texas for using geteach.com in the classroom by the teacher/creator of the site?
