Termination of a Superintendent (interesting, very interesting). Reply

Termination of Superintendent

In what is one of, if not the first decision of its type in Connecticut, an independent hearing officer has ruled that the Groton Board of Education had grounds to terminate Paul Kadri its Superintendent of Schools.
As in most districts, Kadri was under contract which provided for grounds for termination similar to those found in the Teacher Tenured Act, including “other due and sufficient cause.” It also provided that the Board would conduct a hearing before termination. Kadri, however, through his counsel raised concerns regarding alleged predetermination on the part of certain board members. Out of an abundance of caution, the Board agreed to place the decision in the hands of an independent arbitrator, Mr. Timothy Bornstein, which decision the Parties agreed, would be final and binding.
In a decision issued March 4, Mr. Bornstein ruled that due to mistreatment of staff, including numerous physical and verbal assaults, the Groton Board of Education had just cause to terminate his employment.

If your employer ( Region One ) asks you a direct question, and you ignore it, could that be considered grounds for termination? Reply

Interesting question..let us look at the contract between Patricia Chamberlain and the Region One Board Of education, the section on
“termination of agreement”. See document below.

4-4b4b5cd52c

See part 8, section C….part 2 This section seems to give the board some authority after Patricia ignoredpchamstand (1) a simple request from the Board Of Education.

Who is the ultimate supervisor of Patricia Chamberlain? Well we think this document attached answers that! 1

Take a look at these documents….they are between the Region One Board Of Education (herin after referred to as “Board”), no where is the A.B.C. mentioned….and the document is signed by Phil Hart, on behalf of the Region One Board Of education. Again the A.B.C. is not mentioned anywhere in the legal signatures.

Nowhere in any legal terms is the A.B.C. mentioned. When Patricia is asked a question by the board..she must answer as they are her direct employer.

Kingston school board extends Superintendent Paul Padalino’s contract one year with no salary increase

School district trustees on Wednesday gave Superintendent Paul Padalino a one-year contract extension without a raise to his $179,500 annual salary.
The agreement was approved during a Board of Education meeting during which officials said the pact is now set to expire on June 30, 2106.
“We’re very satisfied,” board President Matthew McCoy said.
“He has done a lot of work in the last year and a half to close three buildings, to redistrict, to move middle school kids, moved elementary to the middle school,” he said. “It’s exciting stuff that he’s done and the board is totally in support and we want to see his vision of our district with him as the leader moving forward.” Padalino was hired in Nov. 16, 2011 at $179,500 and began working for the district six weeks later, replacing Gerard Gretzinger, whose annual salary was $203,000.
