: New York Public Personnel LawPayments for superintendent?s doctorate studies by school district found lawful
Decisions of the Commissioner of Education, 14032
Taxpayer David Shufelt complained that the Board of Education of Webutuck Central School District in Dutchess County ?authorized payments to district employees without formal resolution or public vote.?
Among the payments challenged by Shufelt was an ?educational allowance? supporting the superintendent?s studies towards her doctorate degree. The Commissioner of Education dismissed Shufelt?s appeal as untimely but nevertheless commented that:
The superintendent?s contract clearly allowed for the board to pay her an educational allowance. [Shufelt] has failed to demonstrate that this benefit was in any way improper.
