Three Area School Districts Criticized For Secrecy Of Buyouts

The South Allegheny, Mt. Lebanon and Pittsburgh school districts spent about $900,000 on buyouts of their superintendents' contracts, according to a report by Auditor General Jack Wagner.

The contracts -- among $1.3 million spent for buyouts in seven districts across the state -- demonstrate the need for greater disclosure and tighter provisions for superintendent contracts, he said.

"Secret contract buyouts have no place in the commonwealth's educational system because they fail to assure the public that school districts are protecting their interests," Wagner said in a prepared statement.
