Letter: Webb should return money By Caleb Patterson, Vancouver
Share:
I urge Steven Webb to return the $455,000 severance he will receive from Vancouver Public Schools. I acknowledge his hard work, and his role in getting Vancouver schools through one of the most difficult times in our nation’s history. On a personal note, I am grateful for Mr. Webb’s kindness toward my family. He could certainly argue that he deserves $455,000.
But Mr. Webb, that’s seven more teachers next year, another classroom, a partial remodel of a school building, new science equipment or band equipment, or protective barriers in every room; $455,000 goes a long way in Vancouver.
