Taxpayers’ K-12 Money Diverted to Union Business

Taxpayers’ K-12 Money Diverted to Union Business [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
 "Maryanne Levine is a full-time elementary school teacher with the Chippewa Valley School District who was elected to the Michigan Education Association board of directors.
The district releases her from teaching responsibilities so that she can deal 100 percent with union issues.
But Chippewa Valley still pays for $103,807of Levine’s $145,117 total compensation.
The union pays the remaining $41,310."

So, a teacher who doesn't teach gets paid $145,117 not to teach for the nine month she doesn't teach?
That makes sense, doesn't it?
