New documents show the Washoe County School District's share of its settlement with former Superintendent Pedro Martinez was $300,000 and not $135,415 as originally reported. The Reno Gazette-Journal reports the district's insurance carrier covered expenses above the district's self-insured reserve of $300,000.
Last month, the newspaper reported the school district only paid $135,415 because most of the $777,415 settlement was covered by the school district's Special Insurance Fund. The school board voted Sept. 23 to buy out Martinez's contract to end months of legal and political wrangling sparked by his initial, illegal firing. Tensions stemmed from the board's decision to fire Martinez on July 22 after questioning him about his status as a certified public accountant.
