Who is the Director of Schools?

As Reported on WKSR:

Former Director of Schools Dr. Timothy Webb has rescinded his letter of resignation to the Giles County School Board. 

The move was confirmed to WKSR after yesterday’s school board meeting. Board Chair Mike Young said he received a text message from Webb July 3 stating he was rescinding his resignation. When asked if he expected the move, Young replied, “no.” School board members met with their attorney in a private executive session prior to last night’s meeting about contract issues and Young confirmed the discussion involved Webb. The school board is currently paying two directors: Webb and Interim Director of Schools J.B. Smith

This is a classic case of doing the right thing but doing it the wrong way at every possible opportunity.

Last night with an attorney sitting there and School Board Member Greene asking directly of him, "are we doing anything illegal or that can be used against us in a legal action" the attorney twice assured them that there was nothing wrong with what they were doing all the time knowing they were paying two directors of schools. Knowing they had hired an interim director without accepting the resignation of the former director. Has the resignation of the former director ever been officially accepted, it absolutely was not accepted by a vote in an open school board meeting.

This whole thing has been one huge cluster flub from the beginning and only gets more messy with each new decision. Why is the School Board continuing to pay Dr. Webb? Why are they continuing to rely on attorneys who have led them down this road of disaster with bad advice?  When will the Board rely on common sense in making their decisions or failure to make those decisions?

I for one am fed up with the secrecy and ineptness and stupidly illegal behavior.
Based on what I know Dr. Webb did the right thing by resigning but the School Board and its attorney should all be fired for their total incompetency in handling this matter. They have not only created a major financial burden, a legal nightmare they have embarrassed the entire county.
