    Plot twist: Super makes himself head coach and finally realizes his son belongs on the bench. Fires himself for not playing him.

    You likely know it's 2.3% for each year. Just doing this for those not in TRS and wondering how it works.  Older retirees (think 2005 and before) utilize 3 highest years.     
    Ex. 30 years with a $120,000 5 year average.  30 X .023 = .805.   .805 X 120000 = 96600.  
    There is a maximum salary per year allowed by TRS for calculation.   345,000 for this school year which of course only would involve a few superintendents.

    Average of 5 highest years, then percentage of that depending on amount of years in TRS.

    OlDawg's point is salient, but I'll add some additional food for thought.
    Put yourself in the shoes of a head coach. You want to build a winning program and you know you need to establish the right program culture to do that. You want to work at a school with a culture that's conducive to that kind of thing, run by an administration that supports it and a community that values it.
    Do you want to work in a school system where an appreciable number of students is running around wearing animal masks, audibly barking, growling, meowing, and purring in classrooms, because they openly identify as a species other than human? With an administration that either finds that behavior acceptable or is too afraid of social media hysteria to squelch it, and an appreciable number of parents and faculty in the community who openly, vocally support it?
    Do you think that kind of general social dynamic at the school you work for is compatible with the program culture you need to build to have sustained success on the field and, ultimately, mold successful, healthy, balanced, well-adjusted young men? More importantly, do you think that kind of culture lends itself to any kind of success at that school, academic, extracurricular, or otherwise? Do you think it promotes an effective learning environment, or that it more likely disrupts that environment with excessive and unnecessary distractions that ultimately make it harder for good teachers to teach and dedicated students to learn?
    That's the behavior that's crept into--and become all too prolific in--the high schools in the Round Rock and Leander school districts the last few school years, and that's the dilemma that's come with it. I personally know teachers leaving for other districts or private schools, or leaving the profession altogether, because of it. And I've seen firsthand parents who feel like their kids are trapped in it.
    Reread my post. I stated that "[o]n a spectrum that includes the PN-G, BH, Westlake, Southlake, and Cedar Park/Northwest Hills communities, the first four are all way closer to each other in terms of culture, values, history, and tradition than any of them are to the Highway 183 Province of the People’s Republic of Austin." I know for a fact this sort of thing isn't happening in Port Neches, Groves, Eanes, or Lakeway. I don't think it's happening in Southlake or Mont Belvieu, either. But it's definitely happening along the line between Travis County and Williamson County. That's where your political--and more importantly, social--dynamic comes into play.
    And that's all that I had in mind when I made the simple comment that different dynamics exist between Barbers Hill and Cedar Park that birthed this line of conversation.

    Who said the difference in dynamics is relegated entirely to wealth?
    Look up how all those communities vote. Cedar Park is one of the bluest suburbs in Texas and has been for two decades. Westlake and PN-G are almost equally red. Southlake has traditionally been a red suburb, and is trending back that way the last cycle or two after a turning reddish-purple during the first Trump term.
    You brought Westlake, PN-G, and Southlake into a conversation that was really about the differences between Cedar Park and Mont Belvieu. My best guess is that you were trying to deflect a point about how radically different the 620 corridor is from Eagle Drive, and turn this into some sort of referendum on PN-G, I’m guessing out of subconscious frustration over BH’s inability to successfully hire away our coach. But since “PNG is lower than BH” and nowhere near the glorious level of affluence the rich Austin and Dallas suburbs enjoy, why don’t you ask former Westlake HC Todd Dodge how interested he was in the PN-G job in 2022, how the conversation that led to his consulting contract at PN-G actually started, and why the Nederland job was on his radar two years later?
    And while you’re at it, maybe take this one from the guy who’s lived in the 77651, the 78613, and the 78641, and who’s worked for three separate elected officials that represent the 76092 (and for that matter, got a new school authorized right down the road in Lewisville two years ago):

    I'll agree with you that good coaching, leadership, and management skills are all necessities for a successful program, but do not underestimate the importance of school and community culture. Asbeck's departure from Cedar Park is not the only reason that program is not dominant like it was ten years ago.

    Always someone who thinks—despite all evidence to the contrary—things will be different for them.
    My brother lives in Steiner Ranch. Feeds into Vandegrift. Niece & nephew graduated from Vandegrift. Barbers Hill is nothing like that area.
    Barbers Hill is like Deer Park. The Vandegrift/Lake Travis area is on a different level from many aspects.

    I don’t have any insight into why Abseck left. But my two cents: Based on watching my family members deal with the BH administration (I’ve got nieces and nephews in BH school district), I wouldn’t want to be employed there. It’s all petty politics and people letting power go to their heads. I’m getting this secondhand, but the “I can’t believe we have to deal with this” kind of stories I’ve heard add up to a giant red flag.
