Durham Public Schools is paying out nearly $300,000 Friday to the district’s departing superintendent, while also allocating $25,000 monthly to who will take over
All this comes as the district says it can’t pay employees the
raises they were previously promised.
Exiting Superintendent Dr. Pascal Mubenga will receive a $297,759 severance payment for his immediate resignation.
New documents reveal that Mubenga was aware
of the multi-million dollar budget shortfall the district raises would create before they were rolled out.
Mubenga was making an annual salary of $297,759 per year or approximately $18,500 per month or $107 per hour.
ABC11 has also learned that
interim Superintendent Catty Moore
will be paid $25,000 per month as she serves in that role. She’s contracted to work from February 9 through September 30. That means she’ll be paid approximately $192,241 in total.
She also can receive up to $610 per week for lodging expense to live closer to work and reduce travel to her residence and $70 in one way travel from her home in Union County. She also allowed $600 a month for in-county travel expenses.
