Lauren Stanforth {TU}-Superintendent Eric Ely will resign effective Wednesday as part of a deal negotiated with the Board of Education, according to a meeting agenda posted on the Schenectady school district's website.
The board has been discussing in executive sessions if it could get Ely out of his remaining 2 year contract of about $200,000 a per year.

SCHENECTADY Superintendent Ely resigns Board to vote tonight on separation terms BY MICHAEL LAMENDOLA Gazette Reporter
The city school district’s controversial superintendent, Eric Ely, has resigned, but the school board is refusing to discuss a proposed separation agreement with Ely in advance of tonight’s scheduled vote. The board will meet at 7 p.m. in the Black Box Theatre at the high school. Ely’s resignation is effective Wednesday, according to a joint statement posted Monday on the district’s website. Ely was unavailable for comment. Two school board members called the agreement’s terms reasonable. They and other board members cited confidentiality in refusing to discuss details. Board members said they are unaware whether Ely has accepted another job. He is a candidate for superintendent in at least one out-of-state district. Cathy Lewis, who starts her term as a board member on Thursday, called the agreement a settlement of Ely’s existing contract. Ely’s contract runs through June 30, 2012. He is paid $193,899 annually, separate of benefits, which amount to at least $17,000. The board is required to notify him on or before June 30 of each year whether it will extend his contract. ................>>>>................>>>>....................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r00100&AppName=1
Well, it looks like we may have been a little premature with last week’s editorial titled “Schenectady school board’s fi nal, disgraceful act,” which decried some outrageous last-minute maneuvers by the board’s outgoing old guard to save the jobs of a relative and a couple of cronies. Turns out they had one more nasty surprise up their sleeve — and this time they are getting cooperation, if not support, from the new board members who campaigned as reformers, calling, among other things, for the kind of openness and transparency that the district has lacked for many years now. But so far we are seeing only the old secrecy in a matter of great public interest and importance: how, and under what terms, the district is getting rid of discredited Superintendent Eric Ely. .....................>>>>......................>>>>................http://www.dailygazette.net/Default/Layout/Includes/SCHENECTADY/ArtWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=SCHENECTADY&BaseHref=SCH%2F2010%2F06%2F29&ViewMode=HTML&PageLabel=A7&EntityId=Ar00701&AppName=1

How about Paolino He turned the city around
How exactly did he turn the city around? Lower taxes? Negotiating police contracts? Exactly how did he turn the city around??? Perhaps he would be good in Ely's position....but clearly not do to the way he supposedly turned the city around. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE DUMP!

How about Paolino He turned the city around
Did he move to the City? He turned the City around from bad to horrible. After his keen fiscal leadership the City now faces a $14 MILLION deficit and has the highest taxes in the area for the third straight year. Maybe he can return to Rotterdam and help out there-lol-
SCHENECTADY -- The Board of Education voted 5-2 tonight to accept an agreement with Superintendent Eric Ely that would require him to resign in return for being paid a maximum of $200,000.
Some of the terms of the agreement were read aloud by the board clerk, but not all. Acoustics in the room during the meeting also made it difficult to understand all the clerk's words. Board President Maxine Brisport said during the meeting that she did not have copies of the agreement because she had just signed it. The meeting is still going on and concerns other school business.
Ely will also receive health insurance until he gets another job. It was unclear if that compensation would be included in the $200,000 cap.
District closes difficult chapter Schenectady board OKs buyout for Ely; interim replacement lined up
By LAUREN STANFORTH, Staff writer First published in print: Wednesday, June 30, 2010
SCHENECTADY -- Superintendent Eric Ely will be paid a maximum of $200,000 in exchange for his resignation from the district.
The Board of Education voted 5-2 Tuesday night to end Ely's tenure as schools chief two years before his contract was to expire. The district has endured more than a year of controversy that included the arrest and conviction of former facilities supervisor Steven Raucci for placing explosive devices on the cars of school employees and others. Ely will leave his position today.
Ely would not answer questions from the Times Union as he entered Tuesday night's meeting.
Meanwhile, the district expects to announce Thursday that former Shenendehowa superintendent John Yagielski will serve as interim superintendent for the next year while a permanent replacement is sought, according to a district official. Yagielski, who left Shen in 1997 to start a consulting business, most recently served as an interim superintendent in Brunswick................>>>>.....................>>>>................Read more: http://www.timesunion.com/AspS.....0/2010#ixzz0sKdRL4SE
It took them months to find $300,000 in cuts and then they hand a failed "leader" a $215,000 buyout? Another slap in the face to City taxpayers. No wonder school taxes are skyrocketing. While education plummets.
They refuse to fire anyone from The Mad Bomber, to the swim coach, to the Superintendent, to the lunch monitor. The public is furious and those that voted for this outrage must be held responsible.
SCHENECTADY -- Outgoing Schenectady Superintendent Eric Ely has been offered a job with a Massachusetts school district, according to a member of the School Committee in Southbridge, Mass.
"As a superintendent, he really was in my opinion, in a class of his own," said David DiGregorio, vice chair of the Massachusetts district. He said Jack Jovan, the school board's chairman, called Ely about 9 p.m. Wednesday and offered him the position.
He was selected from a field of four finalists, DiGregorio added. If Ely accepts, he'd be paid a base salary of just over $100,000, considerably less than the $189,000 salary he earns at Schenectady.
The district offered him a generous separation package in exchange for him leaving.
So, lemme get this straight. We basically gave him $200,000 for nothing. If he had quit to take this job, we would have owed him basically NOTHING ... right?
