RAQUEL REEDY WILL CONTINUE ON AS SUPERINTENDENT OF ALBUQUERQUE PUBLIC SCHOOLS THROUGH JUNE OF 2020. THAT’S BECAUSE THE APS BOARD ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT VOTED 6-TO-1 TO EXTEND REEDY’S CONTRACT UNTIL THEN. THE ONLY BOARD MEMBER WHO DID NOT VOTE “YES” FOR THE CONTRACT EXTENSION WAS PEGGY MULLER-ARAGON.
MULLER-ARAGON OBJECTED TO INCREASING DISTRICT CONTRIBUTIONS TO REEDY’S SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN, SAYING IT WAS ACTUALLY A PAY RAISE.
REEDY’S NEW CONTRACT CALLS FOR HER SALARY TO STAY AT 240-THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR AND SHE’S AGREED TO NOT TAKE A BUYOUT IF SHE’S FIRED, UNLIKE HER PREDECESSORS WINSTON BROOKS AND LUIS VALENTINO.
