MONROE - The town’s highest paid employee was a person who was not on the job most of the year.
Jack Zamary began 2020 as the town’s school superintendent but was placed on paid administrative leave in January when the Board of Education retained attorney David A. Ryan Jr. to investigate “employee-related issues related to the budget as well as general performance-related issues” regarding Zamary.
Ryan’s findings were not released, but Board Chair Donna Lane said in September that the probe into the district’s budget shortfalls showed the problems existed before Zamary’s tenure.
Members re-elected her Monday for another two-year term. She s been president since 2017.
“City Council threw it out,” she said. “With some of the racial controversies that have been happening throughout the nation, it’s been brought back up again. It’s perfect timing.”
The urgency was sparked by October s police-involved shooting of Tyris Jones, although police officer Dominik McNiece was cleared of wrongdoing. Greer Robinson said the community needs to be involved and there needs to be more transparency.
Greer Robinson has worked as a teacher for more than 30 years with Rockford Public Schools. She also serves as the NAACP State Association’s education chairwoman.
