Outgoing Fort Worth ISD Superintendent Kent Scribner will be paid more than $500,000 as part of a retirement plan with the district.
Scribner announced his early retirement this week and said he will step down from his current role on August 31 of this year, two years earlier than first announced.
Documents released by the district on Thursday show Scribner will be taking home two payments totaling more than $500,000 for his continued work with the district through February of 2023.
The district paperwork shows the payments reflect the superintendents' yearly pay rate as of March 29.
