The Pasco County School District is working out a plan to set things right after an audit showed 43 employees have been either paid too much or too little over the years. Some of the errors date back to the 1980s. The total amount overpaid to 17 employees was $120,398. The total amount underpaid to 26 employees was $143,866. The district has about 10,000 employees.

Rhum said in the next few weeks the district's finance department will be closing down the 2007-08 fiscal year, which ended Monday, and the financial picture for 2008-09 should become clearer. ...more
