Oh hurray ! ….. Isn’t it wonderful news for Rye tax payers that we might be paying close to $300,000 a year for a school superintendent ? I mean gosh , we’d never get anybody at $175,000 . Anybody care to bet NJ had over 50 replacement resumes in hand by qualified folks to take this guy’s job in NJ ?
Hey everybody that just screamed we HAD to pass the latest school bond vote or our houses would become worthless as they shunned Rye schools to go elsewhere , did ya know we need to offer 6 figures more than NJ schools to find anybody to run our schools ?
Rye taxpayers ….. played like idiots again .
