Frank Quatrone walked away with hundreds of thousands
of dollars in sick pay when every other district employee had been capped at $15,000
since 2013. Administrators, teachers, custodians,
secretaries, etc. that worked as many or
more years than Frank Quatrone adhered to State law and district policies when Frank
Quatrone did not.
Frank Quatrone NEVER had a memorialized agreement with
the Board of Education at the time the law changed which set aside a specified
amount accumulated at that time to be retrieved at time of retirement.
Lodi Board Attorney Matthew Giacobbe advised NOT to
pay Frank Quatrone and to force him to go to court.
Interim Business Administrator Robert Brown who was
hand-picked and saddled on the district by Frank Quatrone advised NOT to pay
Frank Quatrone.
Useless officials in the New Jersey
Department of Education were calling me and emailing me information about
problems with Quatrone’s payout. They wanted me to fight the payout as a Board
member when they were doing nothing.
In the end, Frank Quatrone received hundreds of
thousands of dollars for sick days via the most corrupt process imaginable.
People like Nancy Cardone, Sharon Salvacion,
and Donald Scorzetti with the worst conflicts of interest voted to pay Quatrone.
Matthew Giacobbe’s firm drew up the secret settlement after advising NOT to pay
and billing excessively in the process.
In conclusion, Lodi is run by a bunch of thieves and
our State agencies are corrupt and useless.
