Board ratifies severance agreement with Amber Alworth after administration assurances
Summary
Trustees voted to ratify a severance agreement with Amber Alworth, who signed the agreement on Jan. 20, 2025; the board heard assurances from administration that required steps were taken and that the agreement provides closure so the district can focus on students and ongoing priorities.
The board approved a severance agreement and general release between the district and Amber Alworth, signed by Alworth on Jan. 20, 2025. The personnel report noted Alworth had been on paid administrative leave since May 20, 2024 and on unpaid leave since July 12, 2024.
"I assure you that just like the AC Valley School Board, the administration makes a healthy and safe development of our students our top priority," Dr. McDivitt told trustees during the personnel discussion, addressing public concern and social‑media commentary about the matter. He said administration had taken the steps required and advised in the case and recommended the board ratify the agreement to provide closure.
After brief discussion, the motion to ratify the agreement was moved, seconded and carried on a voice vote. No further personnel details were discussed on the public record during the meeting.
The board’s action closes this personnel item as presented and trustees moved on to other business.
