Alabama superintendent drawing $15K monthly salary on leave

Athens City Schools

 

DECATUR, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama school superintendent placed on leave after FBI agents showed up at his home during a probe is making about $15,500 a month in salary while not working. 

The Decatur Daily reports that Trey Holladay, superintendent of Athens city schools, remains on paid leave weeks after investigators visited his house during what an FBI spokesman called a “law enforcement action.” School board members voted unanimously to place Holladay on leave afterward, and he's being paid his annual salary of $186,134 in monthly installments.

An interim superintendent has taken over for Holladay.
