School official May Retire Over Summer Salary Credit Delay
Theodore Herberg, director of research and curriculum development in Pittsfield, said he will likely retire within two years amid a delay by the School Committee to decide on including his $700 summer pay in his official salary for pension purposes. He argues this would grant pension benefits at no city cost and notes the board previously approved similar compensation for principals. He has served 37 years, earning over $12,000 now, and has long influenced district policies before 1962.
