Report: Wellesley school biz manager on paid leave

Ruth Quinn Berdell, the Wellesley Public Schools business manager under fire for her office’s sloppy practices, is reportedly on “voluntary paid administrative leave,” according to the Boston Globe.

Some residents have been calling for Berdell to step down in the wake of Superintendent Bella Wong’s resignation announcement.

Some are upset that Berdell, whose office was at the center of the $100K+ school lunch collections debacle, proved more efficient about collecting a big chunk of change via  a grandfathered vacation pay policy.
