RCS BOARD TO CONSIDER RESCINDING WRIGHT'S CONTRACT EXTENSION

(Richmond, IN)--The Richmond Community School Board is set to meet Wednesday afternoon.  One sentence in the entire agenda has raised some eyebrows.  That sentence states "rescind board action on August 15 regarding the contract extension of Dr. Curtis Wright."  There is no further explanation of why that action is being considered.  Just two weeks ago, the Board approved a contract extension to 2031 that would have him earning roughly $186,000 annually.  The Board will also address several policies, including one involving attendance.  Wednesday afternoon’s meeting begins at 5:30.
