Perhaps another member of the school board could address these issues at a school board meeting (or here, Mr. Fiora) if Ms. Andrew chooses not to reply. Perhaps approach them directly. Provides some drama in an otherwise boring meeting agenda.

Don't get me wrong.....I'm not accusing them of stealing the gas. I think the school board allows these types of things to happen by putting it into their contracts. Maybe I'm wrong and they are taking advantage but I've heard that if they can't get gas at the bus garage they just send their receipts over to the treasurer's office and they are reimbursed.

If those 3 are getting those benefits what are all the others getting and doing?

And of course, Perry Thatcher's daughter worked as secretary for decades (name sound familiar) through his connections as a high school secretary until she resigned to tend to a $15 M  estate. The whole stte system needs to be re-enginnered. The state determines curriculum but the system creates the layers of overhead. I mean, a Director of Curriculum, when the state controls and dictates 95% of the curriculum.  What a wasteful system we have in Middletown.
 
Nice uplife in salary for the man from Lebanon, no lateral, but a nice increase. Really disgusting display of lack of leadership and fiduicary oversight. Too bad so many in Middletown in head in sand and passed the renewal levy. i in 5 homes in Dayton empty. Ohio second only to New York in % of property tax to house valuation and 2nd only to Michigan in jobs lost. Time to get the hell out not only of Middletown but the state.
 
Legality of the gas siphons should be seriously evaluated as a criminal offense or civil if leadership allows this to happen on their watch. Progress---going nowhere and fast. Disgusting.

There is another job posted for the administration building called an "Academic Support Specialist". They just keep adding them. I'm guessing it is someone that they had previously laid off but they are hiring them back now. If you look at the list of employees they let go in March, "to cut the fat", as Ms. Andrews says, you will see that most of those employees have been put into other positions for the next school year.

This school district isn't worried about money. They are redoing Highview for 6th grade, adding new lockers in the halls and renovating the school that was just built several years ago because it was built for elementary students not middle school. I don't understand how that is saving any money. What are those renovations costing? How about the cost to change all the forms, etc. for the school district to reflect the new school names? Right after they changed everything for the new superintendent a few months back. Plus now they are closing the printshop that the district had and sending the printing out to Staples or Kinkos.

The certified staff will still have their "supplementals" for next year. They get paid to go outside and put the kids on the buses, each building gets a huge sum for "technology" for several people. One of the library managers, who was laid off, told me the person in the administration building who is supposed to be the library coordinator, gets a supplemental of about $5,000.00 and never even talked or met with any of them the entire school year. More waste.....

Ms. Andrews never did get back on here and answer my previous questions as to why Milt Thompson, Ron Klapper and Mike Hammond have school district vehicles and a gas allowance. They are allowed to fill their vehicles up at the bus garage?   They probably get as much as the Mayor of Cincinnati. She never addressed the fact that school employees with experience were let go but Ron Klapper hired his son who was a used car salesman to work for the district. Also the fact that the employees in the administration building are walking around with IPads and everyone and their brother has an IPhone.

I would like to see a total of the salaries, including benefits, for the entire administration building starting with the superindent on down. I bet that would be an eyeopener for the taxpaying public.

Today's Journal.....

Lebanon High School principal accepts Middletown job offer

LEBANON – Lebanon High School Principal Samuel Ison is leaving to take a top-level administrative position in the Middletown City Schools district.

Ison has been hired for the senior director of instructional leadership, Middletown school officials said. He will replace Susan Combs, director of student services, who is retiring after this school year, Middletown officials said

SENIOR DIRECTOR OF INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP????? WHAT THE HECK IS THAT ALL ABOUT? WHAT ABOUT THE LADY WHO TAKES CARE OF THE CURRICULUM? COULDN'T SHE INCORPORATE THIS INTO HER DUTIES? LIKE TO SEE A JOB DESCRIPTION FOR THIS JOB. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THERE IS A "DOUBLING UP" OF SIMILAR JOB DUTIES HERE.

Ison’s salary at Lebanon was $103,059.72. His starting salary at Middletown will be $113,828 annually NICE HEFTY LITTLE BOOST IN SALARY FOR A JOB HE HAS NOT DONE BEFORE.

ARE WE TAKING IN SOME OF LEBANON'S DIRTY LAUNDRY HERE? ANOTHER CASE OF ROTATING THE TIRES AS THE ENDLESS PARADE OF EDUCATORS MAKE THE ROUNDS WITHIN THE DIFFERENT SCHOOL SYSTEMS.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY THERE IS A NEED FOR THIS JOB MS. ANDREW AND WHY THIS NEW PERSON IS DRAWING A SIMILAR SALARY THAT COMBS DREW, NOT HAVING DONE A JOB LIKE THIS BEFORE? WHY IS HE BEING STARTED OUT AT SUCH A HIGH SALARY WITH NO EXPERIENCE IN THIS PARTICULAR JOB CLASSIFICATION?
