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
I am currently out of the office and will return on Monday, August 18,
2025. If you have an immediate concern, please contact Eileen Sanok at

Charlie,
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. In looking at the file I sent
you, it appears that the data I exported from our payroll system only
accounted for 1/2 of the year even though I selected all of the 2024-25
payrolls when I ran the report. I reached out to our payroll software
vendor and resolved the data extraction issue. Please see attached a
revised version of the document with all of the data corrected.
