A northern New Jersey school district plans to sue its superintendent in a bid to recover almost $38,000 in alleged salary overpayments he received under a contract the state forced it to rescind.

State officials and a northern New Jersey school district remain at odds over how the district should recover almost $38,000 in alleged salary overpayments made to its superintendent.

School board members in a northern New Jersey town have voted to reduce their superintendent's salary by $43,000 after the state threatened to withhold $3.6 million in state aid.

State officials have told the Parsippany-Troy Hills school district that they will withhold its $3.6 million in state aid unless district officials cut the superintendent's salary by $43,000 to fit under a state-mandated salary cap.
