Board statement on separation with superintendent
Middletown Board of Education Vice President read the following statement this morning at the meeting pertaining to the separation between Superintendent Steve Price and the district:
“The Middletown City School district Board of Education today accepts the resignation of Superintendent Steve Price, effective July 31, 2009. The board and Dr. Price mutually agree that it is beneficial for both parties to separate their employment relationship at this time. Therefore the board has agreed to release Dr. Price from the remaining tow years of his employment contract with the district. The district will pay Dr. Price for a portion of his accrued and unused sick leave and all accrued and unused vacation days. In addition, the district will make monthly payments to Dr. Price in lieu of base pay and health insurance until he finds another position, but in no event for more than one year.”
“When the board hired Dr. Price as superintendent seven years ago it directed him to focus on three priorities: first, raise the achievement level of all students in the district’ second, address the issue of diversity; and third, address the district facility needs. Dr. Price implemented a process to address race and equity issues in the school district which helped reduce the racial achievement gap, while raising the performance of all students. Under Price’s leadership, the community approved three consecutive tax issues, all on the first ballot. One of those tax issues was a bond levy that had failed two consecutive times before Price’s arrive. The district used the bond revenues to build six new elementary buildings and renovate two others, on time and on budget. The board appreciates Dr. Price’s year of dedication and service to the district and the Middletown community, and wishes him success as he moves on to new challenges.”
