Former Syracuse-area superintendent Mark Potter has been assigned as fiscal consultant to the Rochester City School District, the state Education Department announced Tuesday.

Potter retired as superintendent of the Liverpool (N.Y.) Central School District in 2022. He replaces Jaime Alicea, who in turn replaced Shelley Jallow last year as the state monitor overseeing RCSD.

Potter’s salary will be paid by NYSED, not RCSD. He will earn $180 an hour, up to $150,000 in a year. The contract runs from Jan. 1 to June 30.
