“This reads to me like they’re trying to give her a payout,” one employee told FOX6. “She’ll be gone, but she’ll still get something out of it and the people who let it happen will get to go onto the next thing.”
Bowers’ resignation is tucked into Monday night’s personnel consent agenda for school board approval. The agenda does not indicate whether Bowers has a resignation agreement with the district that includes a payout.
In a phone call, superintendent Demond Means declined to answer questions about whether the district had a resignation agreement with Bowers, who is under contract until June 2023. When FOX6 emailed board members with questions about how a vote for a resignation agreement would work, a district spokesperson replied saying no “separate vote” is required.
