Larry Powell, School Superintendent of the Fresno, California school system is taking an $800,00 pay cut over the next three and a half years - voluntarily.

Powell's term expires in 2015.
Powell will return $288,241 in salary and benefits for the next three and a half years.
Powell will earn a salary of $31,000 a year until his term is up.
Powell will receive no benefits.
First-year teachers in the state of California earn an average of $41,000 a year.

Powell is 63 years old.
He started his career as a civics teacher.
He has stood firmly against bullying in schools.
The money he will not be receiving in salary and benefits will go into the state's discretionary fund. Powell hopes to moves those funds to a few projects including programs for preschool and kindergarten, arts programs, and a project he strongly endorses that helps students who earn B and C grade point averages in high school head toward college.

But - let Mr. Powell explain himself.
