List,
What if (and God forbid this should happen) there is some sort of freak accident, and Jennings is no longer there? No amount of money put in his salary contract could bring him back. What would the board do then? Would the world suddenly fall apart?
Well, possibly, for the school board members. But chances are great that they would figure out a way to function until a new superintendant (or another interim one) could be put in place.
More value is put on those who leave us, instead of what they do for us while they are there. I agree with Chris and others, that severance package is ridiculous. I am willing to bet that Jennings already has got his next job lined up before the ink was dry on his recent contract with the school board.
If I were a teacher I would be highly protesting that severance package, and calling for a search for new school board members along with the superintendant search.

Oh boo-hoo, cry me a river. As if other people don't have a problem
with finding a new in a matter of a few weeks? He's getting $46k plus
any unused sick and vacation time, which should allow him to live
comfortably for 6 months or more while looking for work. And do you
think for one moment that if he knows he might be out of a job in 9
months he is not already looking for a new job? There's little doubt
that Mr. Jennings will land on his feet and find a new position without
a lot of distress -- unlike most of the unemployed people right now.
Such is life w hen one's belly is up to the public trough. It's so easy
to spend Other People's Money.
