Karen Molinar’s resignation from Fort Worth ISD takes effect at 11:59 p.m. July 31. The district-posted separation agreement spells out what the district must provide and limits her role until she leaves.
What the district must provide
The agreement requires Fort Worth ISD to provide one year of salary and benefits by July 31.
Molinar’s contractual salary and benefits also continue through July 31. The district must separately compensate her for 20 unused vacation days and 15 personal-leave days.
Her role through July 31
Molinar may advise her successor during that period, but she has no administrative duties, responsibilities or authority.
Reported value and state-law context
Published reporting values the exit package at no less than $360,000.
That reporting also indicates Molinar’s March 2025 employment contract predates a state limit restricting superintendent severance to 20 weeks of compensation.
