Central Bucks' GOP school board votes to pay $700K to departing superintendent



Inquirer link: https://www.inquirer.com/education/cbsd-school-board-superintendent-abram-lucabaugh-20231114.html

The Central Bucks school board voted Tuesday to give its superintendent a nearly $700,000 payout, one of the Republican-controlled board’s final controversial acts before Democrats take over next month.

The separation agreement for Abram Lucabaugh — who wasn’t present during Tuesday’s meeting — drew outrage from community members, who called it “stealing” and “corruption.” The district’s chief financial officer said she didn’t yet know how the payout would affect the budget, because it was added to the board’s agenda just Monday night.

Others questioned whether it was even legal: Pennsylvania school code prohibits severance payouts to superintendents that exceed one year’s worth of salary and benefits, if the superintendent leaves two years or more before the end of the contract. Lucabaugh was granted a new five-year contract — with a 40% raise — just this summer.

The district’s solicitor, Jeffrey Garton, said Tuesday he wasn’t involved in drafting the agreement and hadn’t analyzed it to determine what was classified as “severance,” versus other payments to Lucabaugh. (Part of the agreement pays Lucabaugh $265,000 for 219 unused accumulated sick days.)

I smell a lawsuit coming up right quick. Never turn your back on the Repukes, they will ceaselessly look for ways to screw the Dem voters.

Abe is a scumbag of the highest order - between his time as principal at CB East and as CBSD Superintendent - he has done a lot of damage to CBSD and its students, faculty and staff especially when the Moms For Fascism were the majority on the CBSD Board. We lived in the district for 25 years and both of our daughters graduated from CB East in the 2010s.

Hopefully with his departure, CBSD and the new board majority can rebuild CBSD to its former excellence.

I am sure that Abe will get a high paying job with some fascist nut-job foundation for his educational expertise. If we still lived there we would gladly join a law suit to claw back his package.

Districts in PA, till the whack jobs took over. Same with its neighbor Pennridge. Let sanity prevail and return both to their previous high standards. Maybe people will think twice before automatically voted for the candidate with R beside their name.
