A man took a job as a school superintendent in March.
Four days before he was supposed to start working, district officials said that he couldn't start working due to "unforeseen circumstances".
They paid him 11 months' salary.
Three days later he got another job.
The board offered no explanation of the man's departure. Was it moral turpitude? Was it because he didn't want to be involved with the politics that roiled the board (which he had to know about before he got here, but maybe it was worse than he decided he could handle). Was it for family reasons?
The board won't say, because it won't discuss "personnel issues." So the school district--and the people who pay taxes for it--are out around $230,000, and can't get an explanation.
Not cool.
If he never really worked there, can it really be called a personnel issue?
I think the board owes the school district's taxpayers some answers.

Well, it's clear that the almost-superintendent is an excellent negotiator.
