Next up, Hamilton County Superintendent Rick Smith has landed a $25,000 dollar pay raise.

The new salary is more than five times the county's starting teacher salary.

Some school board members were weary of giving Smith such a pay boost, especially when it's unclear whether they'll be able to offer any substantial raise for teachers.
Greg Martin, Rhonda Thurman and Jeffrey Wilson all voted against the raise.
