Former Philadelphia schools superintendent Arlene Ackerman, who was given a nearly $1-million buyout earlier this year, has applied for unemployment. Based on her former salary, Ackerman would be eligible for the state maximum of $573 a week in unemployment benefits. Ackermanâs reign as head of the Philadelphia school system is over, after working out a separation agreement that will give her her full salary for the remainder of her original five-year contract. Ackerman has been under pressure for much of her tenure in Philadelphia, over several issues : racial violence at South Philadelphia High School, a no-bid contract awarded to a minority firm, and the whopping budget deficit. http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/20...ief-arlene-ackerman-files-unemployment-claim/ <img src="http://cbsphilly.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/ackerman-arlene-src-333-denardo-dl.jpg?w=300">
So IOW this bitch was rewarded for incompetence, stupidity and corruption. I guess they were afraid she'd play the race card.
Yeah, reading related stories, she was basically fired and given her full salary for 5 years (almost $1 Million). Now she wants a weekly $500 unemployment check to boot.
Disgusting scum with zero honor - she should call corzine to go on a cruise together - they both have free time now.
