It&#8217;s not in your contract. Buh-bye.  But unfortunately, the school board is actually entertaining her request.<\/p>\n<p>Karen Petric, the 54 year-old  superintendent of Witnall Schools wants to retire early. Her contract says that if she stays until summer 2010, she gets free health insurance until she&#8217;s eligible for Medicare. She wants that coverage NOW, and that would cost about $230,000.<\/p>\n<p>Under her contract, those insurance benefits for Petric aren&#8217;t available now, and are capped at $90,000. So not only does she want to start collecting early, she wants that limit to go away.<\/p>\n<p>She says she&#8217;s quitting because of a &#8220;safety issue,&#8221; which is widely believed to be related to a situation with a former school administrator.\u00a0 She has also made mention of &#8220;stress&#8221; and something to do with the school board.<\/p>\n<p>Petric may have been a good superintendent, but a deal is a deal. Her deal says she&#8217;s not eligible if she quits now, and that&#8217;s the way it should stay.<\/p>\n<p>Politicians can&#8217;t keep acting as though taxpayer money is &#8220;free money&#8221; to be dished out for any little whim. They also can&#8217;t justify spending money like this by saying, &#8220;Well it only costs ____ cents per taxpayer.&#8221; These types of things should cost <strong>zero <\/strong>cents.
