[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's get back to Hutchings. I think he was fired. Why else would he be receiving severance?[/quote]

Can someone post the link to the separation agreement - I am bad at goggling.[/quote]

It's under the Board Meeting for June 10, 2022

I do not think the terms of the agreement on their face provide a basis to conclude the School Board fired Hutchings.  I would guess the School Board agreed to the severance in exchange for the some of obligations put on Hutchings in the agreement such as the cooperation clause as to questions after he leaves his job.[/quote]

Also, if he was fired why was Meagan Alderton praising him so? She was practically gushing. And if the School Board fired him, why allow him to stay on for two-plus months? That doesn't make sense.

Here's the renewed contract from June 2021:

"If the Division Superintendent resigns for any reason other than retirement, or is discharged by the Board for cause as described in Article IX, then no payments for unused sick leave or vacation leave, will be made."

Hmmm. [/quote]

But there is a seperate paragraph the June 2021 agreement that provides for mural termination of the agreement (IX(b)) upon terms agreed upon by the parties.  That is what happened here (although the severance agreement does not cite that provision,[b] I think the recitals are referencing it[/b]).[/quote]

+1. "the Parties [b]mutually[/b] have determined that it is in their respective best interests that Dr. Hutchings' tenure as Division Superintendent . . . should conclude prior to the time otherwise prescribed . . . "[/quote]
