Overview
- After a heated public meeting, the board initially passed the buyout of Superintendent Amy Wilcox’s contract on a 4–3 vote.
- Trustee Darrin Fox then announced he would switch to no, citing Open Meetings Act concerns about prior discussions of the vote.
- The reversal attempt sparked confusion, the meeting ended abruptly, and it is unclear whether the approval will stand or be amended.
- If implemented, the buyout is expected to cost the district more than $1 million, drawing sharp criticism from staff and parents over budget priorities.
- Wilcox’s attorney says no buyout talks have begun with the board’s lawyer, and the next board session is a workshop set for April 6.
