Salcedo's tenure, which began July 1, 2000, came to an end after the board bought out her contract for $125,000. Although her annual contract of $172,000 had more than six months to run, board members said they would save at least $65,000 in accrued vacation and sick time.
Deputy Supt. of Schools Clarence Tolbert was named interim superintendent while the board continues its search for a permanent schools executive.
Like Salcedo, Tolbert has a doctorate in education from Harvard University. He was her subordinate in a New York City School District when she handpicked him to join her here.
