Superintendent Contract Addendum, October 25, 2011. This allows the Superintendent to "liquidate" up to 38 unused vacation days at a per diem rate of 1/240. The existing limit was 13 days per year and all days "upon separation from the District". The rate is 1/240th of annual salary of $175k. The 25 additional days is a little over 10% of annual salary. The full 38 days would amount to $27,708.33.

MOA with the Newburgh Teachers' Association, July 7, 2011. Agreement covering July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. Step increments to occur January 1, 2012. The NTA website cited as a "salient point of the agreement" that "The District has recalled ten (10) unit members who have been laid off." However, you will not find that point written in the agreement.
Retirement incentive agreement with Newburgh Supervisors and Administrators Association, June 30, 2011. The terms state that members must submit an irrevocable letter of resignation for the purpose of retirement before July 12, 2011. Amount is 50% of last year's compensation paid in five installments, from September 2011 to September 2015. Executive Principal Copeletti and Athletic Director Townsend likely qualified for this incentive. Presumably, so did the three administrators who retired in July 2011 and then returned to NFA as per diems in September 2011: Mucci, Tummarello, and Jackson.

Superintendent contract with Ralph Pizzo, February 15, 2011. Contract for the period from February 15, 2011 to June 30, 2014. This contract does not appear to say very much about what the Superintendent is expected to do. The only specific reference: "The Superintendent shall be entitled to exercise those powers granted to him under Section 2508 of the Education Law while actively serving in his position." It sounds almost voluntary. This contract is very similar to the prior superintendent contract.
