HALLSVILLE — Hallsville ISD Superintendent Greg Wright is on a paid leave of absence after his late-night evaluation by trustees Monday. But no one Tuesday was saying how long he will be gone or whether he will be back, although his contract runs through June 30, 2013. The school board took no action Monday after emerging after midnight from a three-hour closed-door assessment of the superintendent, district spokeswoman Carol Greer said Tuesday. “At this time, I am requesting to take a personal leave of absence — effective immediately,” Wright said. Details of Wright’s mid-semester departure were not available Tuesday. Greer said only that Wright requested the immediate hiatus and it is paid. “He will be out of the office for I don’t know how long, immediately,” she said. “He’s not in today.” Deputy Superintendent Paula Rogers is in charge of district operations at this time, Greer said.
