Albuquerque school boss gets $350,000 buyout, taxpayers don't get answers

Albuquerque school boss gets $350,000 buyout, taxpayers don't get answers « Watchdog.org:
After six bumpy years as the superintendent of Albuquerque Public Schools, the 62-year-old Brooks resigned Friday after signing an agreement with the Albuquerque School Board that will see him receive a lump sum payment of $350,000.
The public hasn’t been told why.
Brooks won’t give a reason why he’s stepping down and the board won’t release an investigative report into what wascalled a “serious personnel issue” concerning Brooks that led to the resignation.

The report will be kept “in a file separate from Brooks’ personnel file, and it shall not be released to anyone,” the agreement said.
