Fayetteville Superintendent Paul Hewitt announced on October 22 that he planned to retire at the end of the school year.
Twenty-six people have applied for the position and interviews started about a week ago.
Huff "retired" from his position with the Joplin R-8 District at the end of the 2014-2015 school year, but is being paid his complete $177,000 salary through the end of the 2016 calendar year. He is also being paid $30,000 for a six-month position as a consultant to Bright Futures USA.

You mean to tell me that our district is paying this man $207,000.00 FOR WHAT??!?!????
Bright Futures USA is not a part of the school district. That being said, we are paying him $177,000 because the previous school board extended his contract, making it that much harder to get rid of him.
Huff would un-retire?
Would this possibly void his "retirement" package? Sorry Fayetteville but you can have him.
Someone needs to warn the Fayetteville school district!
Now if he got the job does R-8 have to continue paying him $177,000 a year?
I hope they hire him. It will be easier to watch him crash and burn another district when it's that close to the area.
Joplin's gain will be Fayetteville's loss.
If he retired through the state of Missouri, he will still be able to draw his retirement while working in another state. Someone (was that on this site?) calculated his payout to retire early and it was conveniently the amount of the severance pay. I assume he is officially retired from MO, payed the fine to retire early, and has been actively looking for employment out of state. If he works in a public school in MO, he won't be able to draw his retirement in MO.
Who in their right mind?!!!
I spose readers need to know where to send those letters and emails. it's the least we can do. he doesnt belong in education anywhere.
Fayetteville won't hire him, test scores haven't been good enough for him to come close to getting the position. FHS is competing with Haas Hall Academy (in the top 150 of high schools in the nation) so they won't risk going down in any way.
Huff isn't remotely close to qualifying for retirement in the state of Missouri. He's still in his 40s, isn't he?

The rules are different for a lot of positions in "public service". One of the primary causes of the failure of the Blue Social Model.
