Lodi BOE Gave Failed Superintendent Doug Petty a $27,000 Raise Tonight (Bypassing Required 30 Day Public Notice and Hearing for Replacing an UNEXPIRED Contract)..


Most of the board is new and has no idea about about what is going on with Petty or the district. They don't understand budgets or property taxes. They don't understand that there will not always be millions more in additional state aid to bail them out.  

Lodi's current BOE members never even read a detailed budget.  Yet their top priority and first action is to give Petty a $27,000 raise, rewarding failure. Remember the board member names that voted Yes tonight when you open your next tax bills. They would never spend their own money the way they spend yours. They have no shame.

Board Trustee Paula Cortez was the only No vote.
