Judge Denies Raise For South Hadley Superintendent

BOSTON (CBS) - A superintendent criticized for his handling of the Phoebe Prince bullying case won't be getting a raise after all.

But, a judge has now tossed out that raise, and fined the school committee because the meeting violated state law.

Some parents wanted Sayer fired after Phoebe Prince was bullied so relentlessly that she took her own life.
