BOE Facilities Supervisor Resigns

The Board of Education is expected to accept Tuesday the resignation of Lawrence Martin as supervisor of buildings and grounds.

Martin has served just seven months in the role. The resolution states the reason for resigning is personal. He was hired for the 2008-09 school year at a salary of $121,000.

As listed on the district web site, there are 10 elementary schools, two middle schools, two high schools and an administration building among facilities to be maintained. Another new school is slated to open in September. The former administration building is now a family support center. There is also an athletic complex on Randolph Road. (If I am forgetting any facilities, let me know.)

Plaintalker has not been able to attend recent school board meetings. Tuesday’s meeting coincides with both a City Council budget meeting and a PMUA meeting.

The school board’s business meeting is 7 p.m. Tuesday at the administration building, 1200 Myrtle Ave.

Wow, Bernice, that is a LOT of money! Is there any way to hire someone to supervise for less money? How is it that the job pays so much money?? Our district can't afford that.

I just checked the list of administrators from when the job titles changed and 15 make over $100,000. This is in addition to Gary Ottman and Dr. Gallon.

Why are we always upset at what a person makes Mr. Martin is a well qualified person who knows every aspect of building schools from the ground up.

For the amount of buildings he's dealing with, I think it might be one of the few bargains on the payroll.
