The Fayette County School District will not be renewing the contract of a high school principal put on paid administrative leave early last November. Marlon Ball has filed a lawsuit against the district and district officials. Melissa Rife is a member of Dunbar High School’s site-based decision-making council. She said she can’t say whether she supports the decision because she doesn’t know all the facts.
“I feel like it would make more sense to complete the investigation, notify everyone of the results, offer transparency, and then make the decision based on the investigation that, that they've said, you know, is ongoing.”
