Was watching the school committee meeting on cable the other night and saw a couple things that weren't mentioned in the Lowell Sun coverge of the meeting . When going over the budget for next year two things stand out.First is that Mullin budgeted himself for a 3% pay raise.When question by Bonnie Ellie that she was under the impression that he was going to accept a pay freeze like other town employees, Mullin would only say "My contract calls for me to get a raise".Then when told that his contract calls for only a 2% raise and not a 3% raise , Mullin had no answer , only to say that should be discussed in executive session.Secondly Mullin budget for a new position of Assistant Superintendent at a cost of 95,000 dollars a year.He already has a director of curliculuim for grades 1-6 and 7-112 both making over 90K each. In Tewksbury these jobs are combined and done by the assistant superntendent . Here he wants 3 people to do the job that one does there. With 2 directors, a business manager, dept. heads , refusal to answer calls or meet with parents, this guy doesnt have much to do , never mind need a 95k assistant. On top of that he tries to slide a 3% pay raise by everyone. There is definately a glut of high paid people at the top of the school systemand its only getting bigger. Instead of cutting at the top they cut in the classrooms. They cry poormouth but find money for raises for someone making 140k already and a 95k assistant? why do we need 3 vice principals at the high school? A Dean of Students? Two directors of curlriculum. Mullin obviously doesnt care, only looking out for his wallet.Given the lousey job he is doing , to even ask for a raise, nevermind one for more than entitled to , takes balls. But I guess this is what to expect when you hire the candidate with no experience , just because he was someones buddy. Thanks DJ and Mary Gail.
