The St. Paul school board fired Superintendent Valeria Silva at a meeting Tuesday night. The decision came after months of tension, including over discipline in schools.

Silva's superintendent contract ends July 15. She'll stay on with the district in an advisory role until September 2017, pulling down her full current salary. The board voted 5-2 in favor of the severance package, which will cost the district $787,500. 

Tom Weber talked with three guests about the decision.
