Lodi BOE President Nepotism Nancy Cardone Got Her Son a $17,235.84 Raise This School Year. That is Why Cardone’s Mindless Puppets Had to Jack up the Salary of Failed Superintendent Douglas Petty. (Post Date: March 29, 2022)

Nepotism Nancy Had to Jack Up the Superintendent's Pay after She Got her son an 11% Pay Raise for this School Year.  

Michael Cardone’s salary at the start of this school year was $158,572.08.  In February, his salary was $175,807.92. Nepotism Nancy got her son a $17,235.84 pay raise which amounts to an 11% pay raise just for this school year. Nancy Cardone personally, directly, and unilaterally selected the board members that negotiated her son’s big pay raise.  Clearly unethical.  Corruption and waste at its worst.

No district pays its principals more than its superintendent.  Nancy Cardone had her son on pace to overtake the superintendent’s salary.  That is why Nepotism Nancy had her friend Laura Cima and other mindless board puppets rush a new contract for failed superintendent Doug Petty.  Everything was done in secret.  They bypassed the required public notices and public hearing to replace an unexpired superintend contract.


All public records and timelines show that Nancy Cardone had to jack up the superintendent’s salary because her son was receiving such enormous raises.


Lodi taxpayers continue to pay a high price to support the Cardone family and its blatant corruption.
