Andrew Hill
WADSWORTH, Ohio (WOIO) – The Wadsworth City School District’s Board of Education this week gave Superintendent Andrew Hill his “last chance” following a special meeting.
An agreement signed during the district’s Jan. 12 meeting says Hill entered into this agreement to avoid termination following unspecified allegations that occurred prior to Jan. 11.
A statement issued by board members say they were, “recently made aware of personnel matters and took immediate action.”
“The Board is taking the appropriate action to ensure full compliance with the policies and guidelines of the Wadsworth City School District,” the statement continues.
As part of the agreement, Hill’s salary for the 2023-24 school year has been reduced to $6,740.
Hill also will have to participate between 20 and 40 hours of professional development on the following areas through July 31:
- Board policies
- Administrative guidelines
- Administrative ethics
- Executive coaching
- All other areas recommended by the Board
He will also have to complete three employee assistance programs by July 31.
If Hill violates any part of the contract, or enters any further disciplinary conduct through July 31, 2026, he will be immediately terminated.
Hill provided the following statement in the agreement:
“I would like to thank the Board of Education for giving me the opportunity to thank the Board of Education for giving me the opportunity to share this message with the Wadsworth City School District Community. My message today is simple, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for the distraction my personal actions have caused our Board of Education and others.
I’m appreciative of the process our Board of Education engaged in over the last month and their decision to offer a Last Chance Agreement that allows me to continue as superintendent. While I have a number of personal issues that I’m currently working through and many decision that need to be made with those I care about, I will not let these issues impact the job I have been hired to do. I continue to care deeply about our students, our employees, our Board and our community.”
The district in 2021 signed Hill to a five-year contract extension. He has been the district’s superintendent since 2013.
