The STrib misreported the sick pay arrangement. The 2-for-1 goes the other way. She gets HALF, not double her sick pay if she cashes it out.
In addition, the longevity pay is just that. The average national tenure for superintendents in districts the size and scope of ours is just 2-3 years. Short stays and the resulting instability and flux seriously jeopardize the ability to accomplish the hard work on behalf of kids that takes a great deal of time, focus, persistence, and commitment. Superintendents who stick it out through the "I've got all these great ideas for change," and into actually implementing and refining or redirecting those changes over time to ensure that they are working for kids, deserve this kind of longevity pay. As always, please contact me directly with any questions or concerns. -- Anne Carroll, St. Paul Board of Education ------------------------------------------------------------ Anne R.
