BRIEF: Gateway superintendent’s early retirement package disclosed

April 28--Gateway Superintendent Nina Zetty will receive a settlement of $53,000 plus nearly $20,000 for unused vacation and sick days to retire from the district a year before her contract expires.

The early retirement was unanimously approved by the school board April 19, but it did not provide details of the settlement at that time.

Zetty and her husband will continue to have their health and dental insurance fully paid by the district through June 30 when her retirement goes into effect. Zetty will continue to have life and disability insurance coverage through June 30.

Zetty has cited stress-related health issues and disagreements with the school board on the direction of the district for her early retirement.

The school board voted earlier this year not to renew Zetty's contract when it was up in 2017.

Zetty has been on paid leave using her sick days since the middle of March. Zetty will remain on sick leave through the end of June, school officials have said.
