Tacoma, WA

Tacoma, WA: (Jul-01-07) Tacoma schools chief Charlie Milligan filed charges against the school, regarding his exit from the district after only a year on the job. In 2006, Milligan left the Fontana, CA Unified School District with a "resignation/retirement" pact that included a large cash-out for leave days and retirement funds after less than two years on the job. As part of a settlement, the school agreed to pay a settlement amounting to $418,500. The settlement translates to the district having spent almost $656,500 on his pay, benefits and taxes. Milligan has seven days from the time he entered into the settlement to revoke the agreement. The deal, approved on a 3-2 vote, will cost the district around $48,000 more than if Milligan had simply been fired without cause. [THE NEWS TRIBUNE: SCHOOL CHIEF RESIGNATION]
