Daily News | School board signs off on Philly’s new superintendent
Watlington’s superintendency begins June 16, but he will spend two days a week starting now either in the city or conducting Philadelphia School District business remotely. Watlington is still employed as superintendent of the Rowan-Salisbury district in North Carolina., chosen after a six-month search to follow William R. Hite Jr., who’s leaving after a decade as superintendent.
Board member Mallory Fix Lopez asked the public to give Watlington the time to settle in and make changes in a city that’s not always warm to change. Watlington and the board agreed to a five-year contract with an option for a sixth year. He must live in the city, and the board will pay both his legal fees associated with contract negotiations and relocation expenses of up to $35,000.
The contract obliges Watlington to obtain his Pennsylvania superintendent’s credential, and requires him to prepare an “entry plan” for his work by July 1. He will be evaluated annually by the board.
