The financially pinched Troy School District is paying its school superintendent $250,000 — plus health insurance for life — to get lost.
Fadhilika Atiba-Weza, whose last day of work is June 30, has most recently been paid an annual salary of just under $200,000. The rest of his exit payout will be for unused sick and vacation time. Atiba-Weza reportedly has already landed a new job in Georgia.
