Dear Mr. Pepe,

Thanks for the record, but I'm a little confused by what I see here. Is it correct that Superintendent Daniel Ross was only paid $73,559.88 in 2024? You previously shared his contract with me and the agreed-upon annual salary was much greater than that. Please clarify, thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Kratovil
