Beavercreek rescinds superintendent’s contract
BEAVERCREEK — School board members met in special session Thursday, July 9, and on the advice of legal council, formally rescinded the employment contract with Mark North, who was to be the district’s next top administrator.
North, the Lebanon Schools superintendent the past three years, signed the four-year contract with the district July 2, but changed his mind and resigned July 7, for what he called personal reasons. He plans to stay in Lebanon.
Richard Eckhard, board president, said the district was diligent throughout the process of selecting a replacement for Dennis Morrison. “I shook Mark North’s hand. I thought we had a deal. I was very disappointed when he called me a few days later and said he was not going to honor the contract,” Eckhardt said.
Board members then went into closed session to discuss their options. Morrison will leave the district July 31 for a lower profile assistant principal post in Fairborn.
Larry Hook, an assistant superintendent in Springboro, was the other finalist out of 11 applicants for the position. Eckhardt said Hook called and left him a voicemail message Thursday to say he was still interested in the job.
Board members said Thursday they are still unsure of their next step. “We are going to look at all our options,” he said.
