FORT WORTH, Texas – Fort Worth ISD has agreed to pay its former superintendent more than half a million dollars to leave her position.
Dr. Angelica Ramsey will receive two installments of $247,961.58 in pay and benefits and $48,539.83 in unused vacation and sick time, according to the resignation agreement.
On top of that, she’ll also receive a $28,690 payment for ‘Purchase of Service Credit and Supplemental Retirement Plan Contributions.’
In total, Ramsey will receive $573,152.99.
Ramsey submitted her voluntary resignation last week after the mayor of Fort Worth and other community leaders criticized the district’s academic performance. She officially resigned from her role as superintendent on Oct.1 but did not resign from the school district.
Ramsey is still technically employed by Fort Worth ISD as the ‘ambassador for public relations.’ However, she is on paid leave until August 30, 2025, and will receive her full benefits until then.
