Arlene C. Ackerman, Ed Week credit

The buyout of Superintendent of Philadelphia Schools, Arlene C. Ackerman,  on August 22 made  headline news across the nation. Education Week published a story on August 26 even mentioned the buyout of Superintendent James A. Williams. Although Ackerman settlement with the district included

"... a lump-sum buyout of $905,000 with health, dental, vision, and prescription-drug benefits through June 2013, as well as up to $6,000 toward a $500,000 life-insurance policy through June 2013."

Williams, Buffalo Superintendent of Schools got a better deal less money, (a mere $110,000, including $8,000 vacation days, and a $10,000 consulting fee) but received life's-time health care benefits while Ackerman's only runs through June 2013.
Ackerman operated a public relations team paid through district funds to promote and protect her image  at the tune of $440,000.
Interestingly, Arlene Ackerman was a board member of the Broad foundation and she vigoursly defended charter schools. So Ackerman is another  "broad" Foundation ally gone awry  ousted from an urban school district.
