I retired after the 22-23 school year and I can attest to the incompetence/indifference of some of the people involved with filing paperwork and doing the basic work needed. I had a delay in beginning my payments because they hadn’t bothered to verify my employment with the state for my final year.

My very best wishes to Lisa Reitman. Sounds like a solid case of mismanagement.

Reading the letter caused me anxiety and nearly brought me to tears. There are too many employees in District 65. This problem touched the desks of at least seven employees, yet none of them seemed to own the process or have any accountability for the outcome. Does there really need to be a separate person to provide a report of remaining sick days?

Taxpayers should be outraged that our tax money is going to a system that has outcomes like this.

When will this stop! District 65 is a total and complete mess and my heart goes out to Lisa Reitman. Best of luck to her.

As Phillip J. Fry would say, I'm shocked! Shocked! Well...not that shocked.

glad Ms. Reitman got her 24% back into her pension. I disagree that Blacks would be treated better in a similar situation. In fact, mant Blacks have been unfairly treated without having the union support and when the did, they still were not treatly fairly by comp;aints with the stae and EEOC.

Who will Turner blame this time?

Broken record: two rookie superintendent hires in five years in closed proceedings . Not sure what the board is prioritizing in terms of skills for the superintendent, but experience and financial management don’t appear to be on the list.

This is correct and thank you for this. I may issue a correction in the coming days, actually.

Not sure why commenter deleted but they pointed out that she eventually did get the 8 days and a full pension
