Supe's Contract, Pt. 2

Just got off the phone with a Board member and apparently they didn't see the superintendent's contract until it was time to vote on it last Monday. So it wasn't just the public who were kept in the dark. The contract was distributed to Board members for the first time at the meeting and then ratified. The contract details had been worked out by the superintendent, the Board attorney and the Board chair and vice-chair. At least three Board members had the common sense to vote "No" on something they hadn't had time to read thoroughly. The other Board members, unfortunately, voted "Yes" so now the supe has a new three year contract that only four people had any knowledge of before-hand. The superintendent had to be a little uncomfortable, though, when the three dissenters asked so many questions about how much the district would have to pay out if they fired him. That part of the discussion went on for at least 15 minutes!
