Harford School Board Ends Superintendent Sean Bulson’s Contract With Payout

Leaders chose a unilateral termination to avoid a protracted for‑cause process following a state review that found no data breach.

Overview

  • Board members unanimously rejected renewing Bulson’s contract and confirmed an early end to his current agreement under a termination clause.
  • A prior closed session vote was 6–3 to pursue unilateral termination, with dissent tied to objections over paying out the deal.
  • Under the clause, Bulson will receive the equivalent of remaining salary and benefits through June; his annual pay is about $293,220.
  • The inspector general reported hotel staff recovered his devices from a 2024 New Orleans stay and district IT found no evidence of a breach.
  • Bulson had been on 30 days of paid leave and did not return to work; Dyann Mack serves as acting superintendent as leadership changes continue, including a board resignation and a deputy placed on leave.
