(Richmond, IN)--The Richmond Community School Board voted unanimously Wednesday night to not permit the automatic extension of Superintendent Dr. Curtis Wright’s contract.  Board President Austin Brann explained the motivation.  "This action was based on present fiscal challenges," Brann said.  Board member Nicole Stults said the action was not punitive.  "Hopefully, the public has heard us say 'we want to cut costs across the board."  We're looking at starting at the top," Stults said.  Two years ago, the Board extended Wright’s contract through 2031.
