They appointed an interim but they won't tell you how much they'll be paying since they're still negotiating. And now they've appointed Margaret Contaldi (Director of Personnel) as acting super until Mr. Saxton and the Board agree on a contract.
Pay attention to the excellent public comments from Mrs. Bodofsky, Conway & Talky on this process and watch the reaction of Jerry 'Needs to Step-down' Shi. It's Priceless!
They already appointed someone but they can't tell you how much they're paying him or if he'll even accept the position.
Good job by the Board in making a simple process into a game of hide and seek for the taxpayers.
But hey, there was one good thing - the board explaining all the resolutions up front and then allowing the public to ask questions rather than the usual practice of just opening up the resolutions for public comment without explanation.
And of particular interest is the settlement (without explanation) of the discrimination suit against the Board by the former Lincoln School principal.
Made an OPRA Request to see the settlement agreement.
And finally, remember that extra $3.5 million we got in additional state aid to reduce the school tax burden after the school budget was done and they already raised up our school tax to $3.044 per 100? That's a raise of 6.6-cents (2.2%) this year. Did they give it back to us as was the intended purpose?
Nah! The Edison Board of Hoarders just put in into a capital reserve and kept it. Not Nice to raise school taxes and then Hoard the money that comes later, which is meant to offset it!
A very informative meeting - NOT!
Here's the meeting, watch for yourself:
Anyhoo, the longer they drag out this interim superintendent appointment, the harder it gets to accept this process and their new appointment.
