With all this trouble,and even more on the horizon.And I don't mean the budget,that would be too simple.My guess is 10 working days from today.

Doesn't he have to ride it out until the end of the year in order to max out on the pension?

Please, Mr. Campbell, even the Observer knows that the superintendent has prepared his retirement papers because of all the uncertainty going on in Trenton. Stop spinning it into something sinister, even though everybody knows that's your style.

Good luck, JC, trying to spin a story where there isn't one. You can't even do that right. No secret really, especially since you already tried to get the Observer to do a story about the superintendent putting in his papers. It's about what's going on in Trenton and how they're trying to change the pension details. Period. But do keep trying JC. You're amusing if nothing else.

Not a story?? From your own statement, DiGesere will be leaving if the Governor/legislature changes the "pension details". Right now, there's a pretty good chance Trenton will do just that on all government pensions. That's a pretty significant "detail."

I am so glad I no longer have children in school. If the Governor gets his way the Kearny School District and many others throughout this State will have many experienced people leaving their jobs and leaving our children in limbo. My children went to school when the budgets were strong, the PTA's were strong and my children benefited greatly. Don't you realize that the children will be the ones that will suffer from all of this animosity and uncertainty? I am so sad to be living in New Jersey.

The children are doing fine and excelling in States that pay teachers and administrators less. Let's get real. The ugly fights are always about money and this is one of them. It's about Cadillac salaries, steps, pensions, health benefits, when we can only affort the Impala. Get used to the Impala, not just in NJ but across the country. We can no longer live on borrowed money. Our "children" won't be able to pay the huge State and national debt that we the "adults" have accumulated. So, yes, I am thinking about the children.

I didn't believe the original poster on this thread, but now I do. Both the High School Principal and Assistant Superintendant have put in their retirement papers. I don't think he wants the challenge of running the district with new people in those slots next year.

Why do we pay the Kearny school superintendent a salary that is higher than the Governor's?

Maybe because Mr. Digesere has a clue and the governor doesn't?

Nah, that's not it. They do it because they can get away with it. There's no newspaper coverage. No public discussion.

Get real. Higher than the Governor?? Higher than the Police Chief?? the spending spree can't sustain itself. Unfortunately, by the time the cuts come, it will be the young'uns that'll have to pay the piper.

The superintendent's salary in Kearny is not really that high in comparison to the rest of the state. And there's plenty of public discussion. There's BOE meetings and Digesere spoke publicly at each of the schools.

If you want quality you usually have to pay for it.
