Board-majority-aligned post framing the departure as a mutual decision rather than a forced removal.

Key points

May 14, 2026 commentary by George Weiss framing the May 12 Glass separation as a 'mutual decision.'
References the OC Register's announcement of the resignation; notes the separation agreement 'has been signed by both parties' and should be publicly available soon.
Distinguishes Glass's separation from Viloria's: 'Dr. Glass was not fired for cause, nor was he terminated without cause, as was the case with our prior Superintendent under the prior Board.'
States the author supported both Glass's original hiring (citing his Kentucky and Michigan educational background) and the mutual decision to part ways.
Closes hoping 'the Board chooses a new Superintendent capable of bringing everyone together.'

Board votes 3–2 in closed session on Glass separation; joint statement issued May 12, 2026

I do want to emphasize that his departure was a mutual decision. Dr. Glass was not fired for cause, nor was he terminated without cause, as was the case with our prior Superintendent under the prior Board.
