While some of you guys want the new school board majority to get rid of Supt. Del Burns, it wouldn't be cheap or easy.
As noted in today's article, buying out Burns' contract would mean paying him 18 months of salary, or $409,500. The alternative is firing him with cause, which is essentially a trial that would be expensive as well.
School board member Ron Margiotta said he hopes Burns will stay on to implement the changes that will be made. He said he personally likes Burns.
The alternative is for Burns, who is under contract through June 2013, to choose to leave. But he said he could work with the new board and carry out its policies.
"I started working here in 1976,” Burns said in the article. “If there are changes, I'll work through them.”
But Margiotta said he expects staff to carry out the new policies and not block them.
“If our staff can't get the work done, we'll get people who can,” Margiotta said in the article.

'nuff said. Chuck has lied and been protected for far too long. Next step is finding staff who care about education over social engineering.
Seems like a discount

What's more interesting to me is what happens to Chuck.
What they can do with their golden parachute
Tue, 10/20/2009 - 16:11 — fiestamomI'd like them to put their money where their school bus is. They need to buy a home in Southeast Raleigh. If they "live" diversity for a while, maybe... maybe I'd listen to them.
I'm guessing they'll move to white bread, lib Chapel Hill. Libs sure love diversity!
I wish Chuck moved to
Tue, 10/20/2009 - 09:12 — NWRaleighMomI wish Chuck moved to Chapel Hill/Carrboro school district. There is a lot of work to be done to merge with Orange County. Just can't wait to see the reaction of his liberal buddies at UNC :-)
Sounds like a win-win
