Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

OK, so the Pickerington school board replaced a superintendent making $142,000 a year with a tyrant making $144,000 a year.

Except she retired as superintendent from the Sycamore school district July 31, 2006. So she's ''double dipping''.

She then went to work for Piqua schools for $117,000 a year, where she lasted 9 months.

But I thought the advantage to a school district in the ''double dipping'' scenario was that they could hire someone for a smaller salary because they were already receiving retirement benefits.

So how much money a year does she actually bring in?

Could someone on the board (Lisa Reade or one of the Readettes) please explain how the board is being fiscally responsible in hiring a superintendent at an exorbitant salary + retirement benefits for our school district?

I'd appreciate it.

Upped Original Offer?

Also, did the school board handle her hiring like Theide where once he accepted the offer they decided throw in another $20,000 or so per year for reasons that were never made clear? Agreed, they should have low-balled Mantia since she already is getting a chunk of change from STRS.
