Deon Jackson didn’t have nearly so generous a contract as Charleston County’s Gerrita Postlewait, who was paid half a million dollars to go away, but it seems pretty clear that the Berkeley County School District still owes its deposed superintendent a six-figure payout.
School Board Chairman Mac McQuillin released a lengthy statement eight days after the Nov. 15 surprise firing that said the newly elected majority on the board had fired Mr. Jackson because of declining test scores, disagreements with law enforcement and lack of transparency.
