Jim Planck is reporting in The Daily Mail both sides have lawyered up, but the status of negotiations between the Catskill Central School District and Superintendent Kathleen Farrell remains unknown. Farrell was placed on administrative leave for unspecified personal reasons last month. On Nov. 4, the board hired Annemarie Barkman as interim superintendent, from Nov. 2 to Dec. 1, at the rate of $800 per day, according to documents acquired by The Daily Mail in response to a Freedom of Information Law request. That same night the board retained the Albany-based Honeywell Law Firm to represent the district through June 30, 2016. Farrell is now represented by Douglas Gerhardt of Harris Beach. Neither Farrell, her attorney or board president Andrew Jones offered comment when contacted last week. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
