Since 2014, Lodi appeared to have had a blanket policy
for all district employees where sick day payouts at retirement are capped
at $15,000. Click on link below:
Yet in 2019, Lodi’s highest paid employee is trying to
walk away with a rushed direct deposit $180,665 sick day payout when no clear
agreement was ever in place when the laws changed on June 8, 2007. Quatrone is the one and only district employee trying to receive more than $15,000 (12 times more than every administrator, teacher, custodian, secretary, etc.)
In other towns, local teacher unions would be railing
against this unfairness. In Lodi, the
LEA bosses (not average teachers) are just fine with it. The special perks, special stipends, special assignments
got them on board with this injustice.
