With prosecutors not pushing for prison time, a Carroll County judge wanted to send a message to local students and the community by sentencing their former school district superintendent and a former board member to 30 days in jail for stealing from taxpayers.
Common Pleas Judge Michael Repella on Tuesday ordered former Carrollton Exempted Village School District Superintendent David Quattrochi and board member Michael Pozderac to report to the Carroll County Jail within the next 30 days to serve their punishment.
“Are they (the kids in the school district) going to look back and say, ‘Our superintendent did something illegal and he was allowed to get away with it.’ That’s my worry,” Repella said when announcing the sentence. “What are the kids going to think?”
