The superintendent of an Illinois school district, Dr. Patrick Shelton, has been granted a controversial new contract allowing him 108 paid sick days, 25 vacation days, and 4 personal days annually. This deal permits him to work as few as 113 days per year, effectively giving him over four months of paid leave. This arrangement has sparked outrage in the community, especially as it coincides with the superintendent giving his cabinet significant raises, including one for 40 percent, as he was leaving his position. These developments occur amid broader dissatisfaction with the current state of the school district, including unresolved contract issues for the next academic year.

Public ed superintendent gets more than 4 months of paid leave as part of a new contract. Insane. Government schools make a strong case for #schoolchoice. https://t.co/huVA2E0Mge
PART TIME: Superintendent Dr. Patrick Shelton negotiated a deal with his school district that allows him to work as few as 113 days per year. He can take off as many as 137 work days per year. Our kids deserve better. https://t.co/1tacJ7LlU9

While our SFUSD schools are in disarray and we have no contract for next year (not to mention how shitty the current contract is) this is what we are paying UESF leadership to do all day. https://t.co/evI3VN4cKv
