USD 112 approves teacher payment
WILSON — The Central Plains USD 112 board of education went into several executive sessions during a Feb. 10 board meeting at Wilson School. Perhaps the most interesting was the third executive session when board member Tony Zink made the following motion after returning from a 15-minute session with superintendent Greg Clark and board attorney John Sherman to discuss matters pertaining to attorney-client privilege.
“Upon final approval of the district’s attorney, and as an economic benefit to the district, I move the district pay the sum of $15,000 to Julie Hays in exchange for her immediate resignation from her position as a teacher in the district,” Zink said. “And further, that the superintendent write a letter addressed to whom it may concern confirming that Mrs. Hays parted employment with the district without ill will, having performed well in her classroom duties as a science teacher, and that she left employment for reasons not related to her job performance.”
The motion was approved.
Hays taught science at Wilson School.
Clark declined to comment further, citing it was a personnel matter.
In other business:
• No action was taken after a 15-minute executive session to discuss teacher negotiations with Clark and Sherman.
• After a discussion on the former school building in Bushton, the consensus of the board was to wait on future action regarding the future of the building.
Clark said the district has spent $10,184 on natural gas, electricity, water and internet service for the building since July.
He said Brian Jordan of the Kansas Association of School Boards will visit with the board in March on a proposed configuration study for the district which might take up to nine months to do.
