Providence superintendent gets $169,118 to quit, prompting Linda Borg, The Providence Journal © Sandor Bodo/The Providence Journal, file Harrison Peters, the departing superintendent of Providence Public Schools, said he knew about accusations against a school administrator in Florida but knew the man and trusted his word that the conduct would not be repeated. PROVIDENCE Elected and union leaders reacted with dismay over the $169,118 severance offered to Superintendent Harrison Peters to get him to step down Friday night. Sen. Louis DiPalma, who chaired an explosive Senate Oversight Committee hearing on Peters Monday, called the severance unconscionable in an interview Saturday. At this point, Peters should have been terminated for cause, he said. Looking at all of the facts, we should not have been in this situation. This is a distraction. The district s 25,000 students should be our focus.
