Consultant paid $372K by schools
The district has paid Baker an average of $124,021 a year for the last three years, his records show. He’s made an average of $75,708 a year for the last three years from the bond and $44,917 from the district’s operating fund. In total, Baker, who started out working for the district as a volunteer, has been paid $372,063 for his work since January 2004.
It’s money well spent, district administrators said. “He’s helped us do a lot of things we didn’t understand,” said Superintendent George Fornero.
Baker is a former IBM executive and a former partner in the local firm Blue Hill Development, which built University Commons for University of Michigan alumni, faculty and staff age 55 and older.
