My posted allegation turns out to be wrong. I knew I had never received, or declared for my taxes, a school board income of $7,000. I just couldn&#8217;t remember exactly how much I received. I knew I&#8217;d never received $7,000.<\/p>\n<p>I headed up to my unheated attic this morning and dug through my old tax files under puffs of exhaled air. It turns out Board members were paid $6,480 per year (third highest pay for a school board member in Minnesota if I recall correctly) when I served. The Chair is paid a little extra, something like $50 a month, which when rounded up just cross the $7,000 mark. <\/p>\n<p>I offer my apologies to Dr. Dixon and the Board members for this rash error and my faulty memory. I wish I could apologize for making a lot of other such mistakes but sadly most of what goes into this blog relative to the Duluth School District is pretty much on target.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pardon me while I spit out the feathers.
