There is a key piece of information missing from the Recorder’s July 23 story regarding the administrative assistant hired to become the finance director of the Pioneer Valley Regional School District. How much is the district paying the inexperienced “only finalist interviewed,” who has no experience in a similar position, and for whom a mentor will be needed? Since the taxpayers of the district are paying the salary and associated costs, that information belongs in the story.
