The article states: “The average salary for New Jersey
school superintendents was $155,631 in the 2017-18 school year, according to an
NJ Advance Media analysis of state data.”
Lodi was paying Frank Quatrone over $204,000 (well
above the state average). Why? Because BOE members like Nancy Cardone were
giving the superintendent 20% raises in exchange for special favors for her
family members.
Districts most hurt by Murphy’s actions are low income
districts dominated by corrupt boards where you will find the highest paid
supers being rewarded for taking care of board members instead of merit based
achievements. If conflicted board members like Nancy Cardone were giving 20% raises when there was a cap in place, what do you think people like her will do when there is no cap in place? Remember Bell, California?
