Custodians are cleaning up on overtime in Newton Public Schools, with nearly a quarter earning at least $20,000 in extra hours last year as the district became embroiled in a stifling contract dispute between teachers and the School Committee .
A Herald analysis into Newton's payroll for the 2023 calendar year revealed that 21 of the 89 custodians employed in the district made at least $20,000 in overtime pay, a statistic one financial watchdog called "appalling."
The review also found that 13 custodians used the extra pay to skyrocket their salaries to over $100,000 — with the highest raking in $75,347.12 to boost their $88,383.58 in regular earnings to $166,780.86.
