The former Columbia Public Schools (CPS) superintendent who announced his retirement in November is in Delaware this morning, where he is one of three finalists for a superintendent position near Wilmington.
Former CPS superintendent Dr. Brian Yearwood participated in Thursday night’s superintendent search public forum in the Christina school district, which is 12 miles from Wilmington. There are two other finalists for the position, according to the district’s Facebook posts.
Dr. Yearwood announced in November that he was retiring from CPS. The school district paid him for his regular salary through December 31 and Dr. Yearwood then received a lump sum payment of $667,000 in January. 939 the Eagle’s Mike Murphy reported at that time that in exchange for the payment, Dr. Yearwood agreed to make no further public statements about his departure from CPS.
