Link to “CAPPING SICK LEAVE AT $15,000 FOR SCHOOL
EMPLOYEES? VALID SAYS THE NEW JERSEY SUPREME COURT”:
Last year, the district website showed Frank Quatrone’s
retirement payout for sick days to be $255,437.
The contract that Quatrone tried to sneak in last week
showed his retirement payout for sick days to be priced between $177,122 and
$191,723.
What is this Board doing?
All
the legal resources I received state that Quatrone can get the greater of two
options: either $15,000 or the amount for sick days he accumulated prior to
June 8, 2007 (if an agreement existed between him and the Board at that time).
What are these fluctuating numbers all about? This shouldn’t be a guessing game.
Did the Lodi Board of Education have a written
agreement with Quatrone on June 8, 2007?
Where is it? I haven’t seen
it. It hasn’t been memorialized in any
contracts approved after the date the law was enacted.
How much can Quatrone possibly be owed for sick days
accumulated prior to June 8, 2007? He
was only superintendent for 5 or 6 years at that time. It would be impossible for him to accumulate
212 sick days in 5 or 6 years. His sick
days from when he was a Gym teacher are not part of his Superintendent
contract.
This is a serious subject that has been avoided for
too long. Quatrone tried to rush through
a different contract for himself last week before it can be reviewed or
discussed. His actions show that he
cannot be confident in what he is trying to pull off.
