Par for the Course: Yes, We're STILL Paying Manny

Who Didn't See This One Coming?

The Rochester City School Board has announced that Manny Rivera's last day with the district will be April 30th but purely in the physical sense, the district will continue to employ and pay Rivera until his original end date in July.

Yes, you read that correctly. Manny is no fool, the salary he will receive in his state position is nearly a third of what he receives from the district and the additional three months will allow his pension package to fully mature. What remains to be seen is how he is compensated at the state level beginning on that April date.

I doubt I am alone in thinking it is flat out ridiculous to pay Manny for a job he isn't doing but, given his activities over the past two years, it is something we've been doing for quite awile.
