Rather - 378 years; Gary Pellico - 38 years. The retirement packages were to be $100/year for each year of experience. So-o-o, why did Jones get $4000 in stead of $2800? Why did Jeff Baer get $3400 instead of $3300? Maybe just $1300 (a good sum of money that could be used to purchase learning materials for children) BUT makes one wonder what are the other "errors." ?????? What are the "consultant" figures for these fine folks??????? Jones and Pellico still go to work - why are they not on vacation NOW?????? Pellico should be able to answer the last question without any time for research??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-82189518131875038502010-07-21T19:37:40.720-04:002010-07-21T19:37:40.720-04:00It's amazing that these administrators can col...It's amazing that these administrators can collect up to 10years of health insurance but when one mere employee was let go, a one month insurance extension was not granted so that radiation could be completed.

I have been in attendance at meetings where he, himself, confirmed it. Apparently there is some sort of rule that prohibits him from being an employee one day and a consultant the next. He has to take a little time off between jobs. I don't know if that means a week or a month but he will be on the job in his new position by the time school starts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-24088939783645947922010-07-17T00:47:49.251-04:002010-07-17T00:47:49.251-04:00Pat,

If the School Board cared about this, they could flag payment every time they saw the 'retired' employee's name attached to a bill. I'm not sure that this Board cares about what is really happening. If Stinson says 'jump', they say 'how high?'. Bottom line, my guess is that there are ways around formal contracts - which may not please the retirees. Of course, there is the chance that they are not returning at all. If Rather were to 'consult' on athletics as is rumored, then he would be highly visible.

Are these packages out of the ordinary? I simply cannot believe that public education officials got this kind of early retirement package that you don't even see in the professional business setting. The news should do a story on this, if in fact it is not the status quo.<br /><br />BTW, how old is Pellico?
