School Board member Jody Carreiro joins criticism of a Little Rock School District memo that announced the board’s recently approved early retirement incentive. It was described as an “early retirement insurance plan.” Some board members had discussed how the $15,000 payment might ease fears about insurance costs for some potential early retirees, but it otherwise had no connection with insurance. Board member Baker Kurrus had earlier sharply objected. (UPDATE: Board President Dianne Curry has added a response in this earlier post to Kurrus’ warning that the Board neets to get serious about trimming administrative costrs.)
Carreiro, who joined a 5-2 vote for the plan, nonetheless agreed in e-mail distributed to all board members with dissenter Kurrus’ criticism of the description distributed by the administration.
