Caught this piece of news on San Francisco Chronicle....
File this under the category of You?ve Got To Be Kidding Me.

Former San Francisco school Superintendent Arlene Ackerman has filed for unemployment in Philadelphia after receiving a nearly $1 million payout to leave the same job there, according to CBS Philly.

She would be eligible for the maximum unemployment benefit of $573 per week, if her claim is approved.

The Philadelphia school board paid Ackerman $905,000 to buyout the remaining three years of her five-year contract, with $405,000 coming from private donations and the rest from the district. The agreement included a clause that allowed the ousted school?s chief to file for unemployment.

To refresh everyone?s memory, in 2006, Ackerman was also shown the door in San Francisco, collecting $375,000 in severance pay to clear out of her office. She then briefly sued the district, claiming she was owed $172,000 more in unused benefits, a lawsuit she eventually dropped.

Just who are the idiots who offer this type of employment contract to leaches like this lady? I want names!! :mad:

    I think she should not be eligible considering they are "paying" her for the next 3 years. Seems like she should budget it. I could live for 40 years on that.
