[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Alexandria Times pointed out that Hutchings’ separation was pursuant to the mutual agreement provision of his contract but did not succeed to find out why in its reporting: https://alextimes.com/2022/06/acps-superintendent-resigns-2/[/quote]

FOIA.[/quote]

This is as much as you are going to get. FOIA doesn't apply to closed meeting personnel discussions, and both the Board and Hutchings are bound by non-disparagment, as explicitly spelled out in the separation agreement.
The Board and Hutchings may despise each other, he may be departing on very friendly terms, or (most likely) something in between. 
If you hated Hutchings, quit speculating and be glad he's gone.
If you liked Hutchings, be bummed, and be grateful for the 4 years you got.
Either way, be very, very realistic about the Superintendent search going forward. Like teachers, education leaders have left the field in droves. This region has a reputation for being a tough place to be a Superintendent (see the recent struggles in Fairfax and MoCo to get new leaders). The magical unicorn that makes everyone happy is not out there.[/quote]
