SBDM Violation Nets FCPS Principal 3-day Suspension

This from Jim Warren at H-L:

The principal at Lexington's Deep Springs Elementary School has served a three-day suspension over various allegations, including trying to influence a site-based council election.

Principal Adam Kirk served the suspension without pay in June, officials said.

According to records released by the Fayette Schools under an open records request, Kirk allegedly tried to interfere with a Deep Springs site-based council election last school year by encouraging team leaders to run for a council seat. He also allegedly made derogatory comments about council members who were seeking re-election.

There also were allegations of offensive language during team meetings and individual comments of a sexual nature.

According to the records, the district will develop a corrective action plan with Kirk, and a letter outlining the allegations will be sent to the state Education Professional Standards Board.
