Dear Editor:
On Tuesday night, we extended the contracts of Interim Superintendent Carter, Interim Asst. Superintendent Rusak through December 31, and interim Business Administrator “The Oracle” Davis for the entire 2010-2011 school year. The only change was the addition of 10 paid days to be used as either sick or vacation days. Some in the community thought this was a back door raise. The reasoning behind this was completely different. When these three professionals came to Hoboken it was with the intention of being here for a short period of time. Now that they are going to be here for more than one year, and are doing an amazing job, we, the Board of Education, believed that they were deserving of a paid vacation. The vote was 7-1 in favor.
Regards,
Ruth McAllister
Hoboken Board of Education Trustee
