New Hazel Park school superintendent was paid $230K to leave Taylor
When the Hazel Park School Board appointed an interim superintendent this summer and declined to provide any information about him, parent Jennifer Jackson watched in disbelief and then took the only recourse she could think of. She filed a public records request. A Google search revealed he was the former superintendent of Taylor Public Schools, so Jackson started there, filing a Freedom of Information Act request for any records about his performance and departure. What she got back, she quickly shared with the Hazel Park board in an Aug. 17 committee meeting during the public comment period. Standing at the podium, both hands clutched around her phone, Jackson revealed Hazel Park's new leader, Griff Mills, had left his position in Taylor early due at least in part to an evaluation that found him "minimally effective." He signed a voluntary separation agreement worth about $230,000 with the board to leave. On Oct. 26, in a 4-3 vote, the board made Mills its permanent superintendent without addressing his past at the Downriver area district, without any public vetting and without a search process. "Still to this day, even if he has been here two months, we know nothing about him," board member
