Last Friday afternoon, the Wadsworth School Board sent out a brief memo about their recent additional meetings involving a staff member. Ten minutes later, WCS superintendent Dr. Andy Hill sent out his own memo thanking the Board of Education for giving him the opportunity to share an apology with the Wadsworth School District community.
“My message today is simple, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for the distraction my personal actions have caused our Board of Education and others.”
“I’m appreciative of the process our Board of Education engaged in over the last month and their decision to offer a Last Chance Agreement that allows me to continue as superintendent,” Dr. Hill wrote.
A Last Chance Agreement means it gives a employee one more chance to continue to work in their position and if they make a mistake (no matter what the offense) then they may be dismissed.
Dr. Hill makes roughly $156,000 a year and will receive a $6,000+ reduction in his salary for the “personal actions” over the 10-day period of an investigation.
“While I have a number of personal issues that I’m currently working through, and many decisions that need to be made with those I care about, I will not let those issues impact the job I have been hired to do. I continue to care deeply about our students, our employees, our Board, and our community.”
