Former Matawan-Aberdeen Administrator becomes BOE Member in Middletown


Read the story here:




Excerpt:

Skelton said he resigned because of a lack of cooperation from the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional Board of Education when he requested an office manager for the school. His resignation was rescinded by the board in January 2001, and an office manager was hired.

Now for the rest of the story:


Mr. Skelton wanted to be paid back unused vacation & sick pay which incuded time that he would have accrued since he left the district 16 years earlier, even though he did not work in the district at all during that timeframe. The Board of Education in 2001 settled on an $84,000 bonus, and the office manager. After getting all of that compensation Mr. Skelton left the job after a year. Nice deal for Mr. Skelton. Bad deal for the taxpayers.


Members on the current Matawan Aberdeen board who were on the board at that time:


Barbato Voted YES

Zavorskas Voted YES

Donaghue Voted NO
