The announcement closes a chapter on the board’s efforts to reverse the controversial agenda of the former GOP majority, which drew intense attention — and pushback — for its policies.
The board said that chances of winning the case over the separation agreement with the ex-superintendent were not assured.
Although Pennsylvania school code limits severance payments to departing superintendents — with a cap of a year’s worth of salary and benefits for leaders leaving more than two years before the end of their contracts — Smith said it wasn’t clear on sick days., states that anyone in a first superintendent contract with a district can be paid out only for 30 sick days, said David Conn, solicitor for the Central Bucks board.
In a letter to Conn earlier this year, Karpf said that it was “perfectly reasonable” for the former board to have reached the separation agreement with Lucabaugh — arguing that the new board would have fired him, and Lucabaugh would have brought a wrongful termination lawsuit. “If you truly believe” the agreement was illegal, “why is CBSD not pursuing a malpractice case and instead threatening litigation against Lucabaugh” that could result in his reinstatement, Karpf said in the letter — noting that the board did not want Lucabaugh to return.
