From PASD-world, home of the 'voluntary resignation'

The separation agreement for former PASD Superintendant Dr. Schwab appears here.

Anyone who believes that it takes two teams of lawyers and nine pages of text to accomplish a 'voluntary resignation' should be required to repeat the third grade.

Finally someone is paying attention to the lack of fiscal responsibility on the part if PASD.
What happened to Michelle Diekow?

Not too bad. In office for 4 months receiving salary of $170000/year. Gets over $35,000 in cash extra for resigning plus COBRA benefits.

Reason for retiring - ah, that's part of the confidentiality agreement.

So now she can go elsewhere and perform her duties without any blemish on her record.

Oh yeah. Really funny. Those who have the deepest roots in this community seem to be costing us the most. Robb Frees' behavior and the withholding of very important information regarding this school site. Now he wants to push the agenda for his drinking buddy MD (not medical doctor), for the CDC and the irresponsible funding of this organization, again on the tax payers dime. Shame on him. These people are playing monopoly with our real money! It needs to stop and now. I implore council to withdraw from the CDC contract and provide the tax relief that is desperately needed to the residents of the borough! We will not get a federal bailout, it needs to happen locally.

Finally, I had an opportunity to view the meeting with the timeline of events leading up to this travesty. The timeline laid out was very detailed. My surprise was the indignation that was expressed by the members of the PASB about how they were treated for 7 years by Dr. Noyes. Many of these members have been on the board for over 10 and 15 years. These are the people that the voters of the area placed in charge to make sure this event did not happen. Not only did they allow it to happen, they stood by and took this so called abuse by their employee. Now I have had a couple of opportunities to be in management positions and this type of behavior cannot be tolerated. They allowed this to take place. I hope that the electorate will remember this as they come back for re-election. They can place blame all they want, they are/were the elected officials, and the buck stops there!
