Prince George’s County Public Schools paid former schools superintendent Millard House II nearly $700,000 to resign, according to agreement records obtained by News4.
House agreed to step down in June after county educators cast a no-confidence vote against him during an emergency meeting, saying he ignored the concerns and needs of students. A survey of members of the Prince George’s County Educators’ Association showed more than 75% of educators lacked confidence in House’s leadership on academic direction, transportation and safety operations, and communication with educators.
House had about two years left on his four-year contract when the agreement was reached.
The county paid House two years of his salary in one lump sum, according to the agreement. His salary was $345,000, which means he received $690,000 to resign.
There was also a clause in the agreement in which he and the school system agreed not to make negative public comments about each other.
