[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why his payout of both unused vacation and unused sick time far exceeds their stated limits in his second employment agreement. I mean, only 21 days of sick leave in the contract, but they’re giving him 79, to the tune of almost $40,000? Or why they’re paining four months of COBRA. That’s got to be at least another 10k. Or, ultimately, why someone who is moving on to embrace their true purpose “beyond superintendency” is entitled to severance at all? [/quote]

The School Board did receive some consideration from Hutchings for those payments: agreement to respond to questions, etc. after his term is up to support the transition to new leadership, agreement not to make disparaging comments against ACPS, etc.  The question (which is slightly different than yours), is did the School Board get enough in exchange for the severance.  The answer to that question may also depend on whether Hutchings really wanted to leave voluntarily (which no one involved has publicly disputed at this point).  More digging on this is warranted.[/quote]

Interesting but depressing: the payout is so he’s helpful to them as they cope with the situation his premature exit put them in and also to secure a promise not to talk badly about his former employer? [/quote]

That’s how I read the contract.  Others might have a different interpretation.[/quote]
