Melissa Aviles-Ramos's appointment makes her the highest-paid employee in New York City at $414,799 annually, surpassing the mayor's salary. This substantial pay increase reflects her rapid rise within the Department of Education after starting as a teacher.
Aviles-Ramos's $414,799 salary is a considerable jump from her previous paycheck of $232,754 as she benefits from a range of perks, including a car and driver. This move follows a recent corruption probe that affected her predecessor.
David Banks, the former chancellor, saw his salary increase following citywide managerial raises before his resignation linked to an FBI investigation into corruption. This situation set a backdrop for Aviles-Ramos's promotion.
Despite Aviles-Ramos’s significant salary, her predecessor had a similar pay structure that indicates continuity in financial expansion for leadership roles in New York City's educational system, irrespective of recent scandals.
