Dallas ISD?s departing communications chief will receive a month?s pay ? about $15,400 ? in a severance deal when she resigns Thursday.
Jennifer Sprague joined DISD last year at a salary of $185,000, which was widely criticized as excessive. The salary was nearly double what Sprague made in Colorado Springs, Colo., where she worked alongside Miles for five years. She offered to resign in late December.
Sprague?s severance pales compared to deals received by others. Former chief of staff Alan King received three months of pay, or about $56,000, when he left in October. Former assistant superintendent Shirley Ison-Newsome, who also resigned in October, will be paid through August, collecting about $145,000.
Trustees had expressed concern about Sprague receiving a hefty severance. Because Sprague worked until after Jan. 15, she will also receive her $15,400 paycheck for the month.
