The principal at the center of a controversy over social media posts and allegations of teaching Critical Race Theory at Heritage High School in Colleyville is leaving the school district — but not immediately.
Dr. James Whitfield announced he will resign effective August 15, 2023. As part of the settlement between Whitfield and the school board, he will remain on paid leave until then.

Nice work, if you can get it.
I think I’d just do a recall of the school board, and dismiss the folks, and whichever lawyer they have on a retainer. The excuse they may give is that it takes a full year to follow resumes and interview people for the job. PhD-level? Salary is probably in the $150k range per year.
Not a joke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colleyville_Heritage_High_School says the school colors are red & black.
remain on paid leave

So,, this weasel was punished with a paid vacation ?
Spit.
Texas, in case you were wondering.
EXCUUUUUSE ME !!!!! As a tax paying resident of this school district I find this absolutely ridiculous and a mismanagement of the taxes I and my neighbors pay to the GCVISD! Firing and then paying someone for almost 2 years to do nothing is almost beyond comprehension. I can only imagine that this agreement will avoid the ongoing litigation that Mr. Whitfield would continue to unleash upon the school district and the board. Without commenting on whether or not he should have been fired, this arrangement smacks of a gutless capitulation to blackmail by someone they found to be incompetent to serve as their high school principal. What other explanation could there be?
Yup. Seems they skool board doesn’t understand how to write good employment contracts.

Sure would be a shame if he didn't live that long.
