Carrollton-Farmers Branch School Super will resign to avoid being fired
Having previously decided to rid themselves of the services of School Superintendent Annette T. Griffin, Carrollton-Farmers Branch School Board trustees decided late Thursday (Dec. 4) to allow the embattled administrator to offer her resignation instead.
By exiting in this fashion, Griffin will end up with $100,000 in severance money and will get to collect the remainder of her $285,000 annual salary for 2008. Which - from her standpoint - beats the bloody Hell out of a firing.
The trustees are citing the need for rapid closure to the whole affair (involving Griffin's arrest this past August on drunken driving charges and including a series of enumerated "unprofessional incidents" while on the job), and hope that by putting the matter behind them they can go ahead and hire a new Super without a big messy appeal procedure.
