Hello, Mr. In The Chips

That was then: who’s wearing the silk top hat now?

A recent article about the newly appointed head of Rye Country Day contained this surprising (to me) tidbit:

Dunn made $750,000 in the 2019-2020 year in Chicago, tax forms show. His salary at Rye will almost certainly be over a million dollars. The school’s current leader, Scott Nelson, made $1.18 million in 2020.

I assume RCD’s pay is in line with other private schools around the country, and $1 million is the going rate, but … gosh.
