Rochester School Board suspends superintendent Muñoz for five days
The Rochester School Board unanimously voted Tuesday evening to suspend Superintendent Michael Muñoz for five days in response to a plagiarized letter he sent to the district s staff members over Thanksgiving.
School Board Chairwoman Deborah Seelinger said the board will work with the district s attorney to draft a letter to the superintendent, outlining the specifics of the suspension. She said the superintendent will go without pay for that period, or have his salary reduced by an equivalent amount.
