Superintendent job offer rescinded over use of term "ladies" in email.

The Easthampton School Committee rescinded its offer for Vito Perrone to lead the district as superintendent after he used the term "ladies" in an email to the committee chair, citing it as a "microaggression." Perrone, who is the interim superintendent of West Springfield Public Schools, said he was shocked and devastated by the decision. He had addressed the pair as "ladies" in the email that was going over three negotiation points after the School Committee had offered him the superintendent job. Growing up in the 1960s and 70s, Perrone said the terms "ladies" and "gentlemen" were respectful, and it's why he used "ladies" in the email.

Superintendent job offer rescinded over use of term 'ladies'

Vito Perrone, an incoming school superintendent in Massachusetts, had his job offer rescinded after addressing two women on the school committee as "ladies" in an email. The women reportedly interpreted the greeting as a "microaggression." Perrone said he used the term as a sign of respect and was shocked when the job offer was withdrawn. He had attempted to negotiate higher pay and more sick days in the email. Perrone contacted the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents but was told he had no options since he never formally signed a contract.

Superintendent job offer rescinded over use of term 'ladies'

The offer to become the superintendent of Easthampton Public Schools was rescinded due to a perceived "microaggression" in an email candidate Vito Perrone sent to school committee members. The email addressed negotiations, including more vacation time, and began with the salutation "ladies." Perrone explained that he grew up in a time when "ladies and gentlemen" was a term of respect, but the committee was insulted and rescinded the offer despite his apology. Perrone, who was taking a $14,000 pay cut to leave his role in West Springfield, expressed disappointment but hopes everyone can learn and grow from the situation.
