Tantum eruditi sunt carus
In one of the worst kept secrets ever, Janet Robinson the superintendent of Newtown schools, was named as the new Stratford Superintendent of Schools. At a starting base salary of $210,000 per year, she is also the most expensive Superintendent of Stratford schools…ever. While some “savings” in the BOE budget have been achieved by shifting healthcare costs onto BOE employees, there remains much more real work to be done. Also, by every account, morale throughout the BOE has been left in ruins by the former superintendent, Irene Cornish.
At this point we can only hope that Ms. Robinson builds upon the masterful repair work begun by Margaret Lasek, the interim superintendent. A good place to start would be here:
