Like a bad penny, Fred Smith, former Assistant Superintendent of New Rochelle Schools, turned up in Troy, NY last month claiming to have a letter from the University of Virginia exonerating him following a plagiarism investigation into his doctoral thesis. Smith claimed to read the letter over the telephone during a job interview but never produced the letter. The university recently confirmed that Smith’s doctorate had been revoked.
The Troy school district hired Smith to a $400 an houra day position as interim director of pupil personnel services. When the district learned Smith’s Doctorate had been revoked, they let him go.
Albany Times-Union: Troy fires new hire.
Troy NY is Broke and in decay
$400.00 an hour for director of pupil services? Something is wrong all across the country. Guess which party runs Troy NY?
my bad…$400 a day not hour
Tom,
I have edited the post to reflect my error.
$400 an hour or $400 a day, Fred Smith is worth zero as an educator.
Someone in New Rochelle should be going through all his expense reports right about now.
