The Homewood-Flossmoor High School school board officially terminated the contract of former principal Ryan Pitcock, despite pleas for his return.
The 6-1 vote was described as confirmation of “the termination of the principal, Ryan Pitcock, by exercise of the buyout clause in his employment contract, effective June 21, 2016.”
Pitcock had been principal for eight years and was on the last year of his contract when the board voted 5-2 to fire him. Board member David Meyer, who voted against the move, resigned from the board shortly after the termination.
