NEW ERA, May 24, published a letter stating “…we learned that the (Lancaster) school district had approved a lucrative contract with the new school superintendent that includes $800,000 in wages…”
WATCHDOG: We admire the Lancaster Newspapers’ willingness to include letters representing a wide variety of opinions, but the New Era editor errs by not at least adding a foot note to explain that the $800,000 is over a five year period. That amounts to $160,000 annually.
The New Era owes its readers and the School District of Lancaster an apology and a clarification in Monday’s “Letters to the Editor” section.
