Director of Education Donna Quan’s salary is $289,000 a year, and not the $315,000 alleged in a confidential email sent by the outgoing chair before she left office, says the Toronto District School Board.
Just hours before Mari Rutka’s term ended Nov. 30, she sent an email to trustees outlining her version of events in trying to obtain a copy of Quan’s contract over several months. A copy of that email was obtained by the Star.
Rutka wrote that after hearing from a lawyer who acted “on behalf of the board on Director Quan’s contract,” he eventually sent her a copy Nov. 27.
“This current board of trustees, as well as the next board of trustees should know that the contract states that the director be paid an ‘annual salary of three hundred and fifteen thousand ($315,000.00) dollars per annum, subject to approval by the Ministry of Education,’ ” she wrote.
A board spokesperson said while there was a contract with that amount stated it in, it was not approved by the ministry and Quan has been paid $289,000 and no more.
Rutka could not be reached for comment. (more...)
