The 2016-2017 budget (p. 33) lists Mr. Quatrone’s salary at $192,458
The 2017-2018 budget (p.33) lists Mr. Quatrone’s
salary at $226,072.
That would be a $33,614
raise or 17.5%.
The terms of Mr. Quatrone’s contract have
not been negotiated yet.
The $226,072 salary was listed months ago.
It seems that certain people decided on a salary long
before any negotiations took place.
Now, they are going to the extremes to attain that
goal.
On Wednesday, four board members voted to use “doctrine
of necessity” to negotiate Mr. Quatrone’s contract. This was something that was never done before. It was done
without an advisory opinion from the SEC. It would allow six people with conflicts of interest to
negotiate.
This looks really bad. Other bargaining units are working under
expired contracts.
It’s very sad that union people are cheering this on
at board meetings. They are more
interested in helping Mr. Quatrone attain his target than they are for the
teachers.
