Springs Hire

The Springs School Board hired a district treasurer at its meeting Monday. She will work two days a week in tandem with the recently appointed business administrator. Previously, the district’s business administrator also served as its treasurer. 

In making the appointment, the administration clarified that the business administrator, Carl Fraser, works three days a week, earning $750 a day. The new treasurer is Annette Savino, a certified public accountant, who will work at $65 an hour.

Explaining the decision to hire a treasurer, Mr. Fraser said it was “impossible to complete all the work that is required in the business office” in three days. Mr. Fraser also said that two positions would be more efficient and would put more checks in place to make sure business is done properly.

John J. Finello, the Springs superintendent, said Ms. Savino was one of four candidates interviewed. He also said he had queried other local school administrators about sharing a staff member as treasurer, but said it was not possible at this time.
