Lodi Has School This Friday. Also on February 13th, April 30th, May 1st, May 15th,…






A few things to point out:


1)    Frank Quatrone is receiving a merit bonus this year to “increase the overall effectiveness and efficiency of high school guidance department”.  Frank Quatrone continues to allow an administrator who probably isn’t even tenured yet (less than 3 years in district) to run his personal businesses during school days.









2)    Ciofalo’s contract only allows for two personal days a year.  It would be inappropriate if the Lodi BOE is allowing him to use his vacation days while school is in session to run his own private businesses.



3)    The Lodi Board of Education “President” Joe Licata is the one scheduling Jaime Ciofalo’s presentations during school days.  Licata is a business partner of Ciofalo’s.






Joe Licata is employed by the Lodi Boys and Girls Club.  Both Licata and Ciofalo can pay themselves through “Lodi Cares”, the business they created together.



4)    Two years ago, Lodi was paying Ciofalo at least 
$ 118, 694.  I say at least because I have found many employees that received additional compensation on top of what is reported on these public information sites.




Is Lodi getting its money’s worth?



(If anyone has a reasonable explanation for what is described above, I would gladly post their response on my website.)
