UNION SPRINGS, AL (WSFA)- Controversy is brewing in Bullock County after the school board ousted the high school principal and he wasn't there to defend himself.
The principal was terminated after an investigation into disciplinary procedures. Now, his attorneys are fighting back, saying his firing wasn't properly handled and that the investigation's findings have no merit.
The Bullock County Board of Education voted Wednesday night to terminate the contract of Bullock County High School principal Undrea Johnson. The reason for the termination, "neglect of duty and incompetence," according to the school superintendent.
Johnson was fired during a special meeting that lasted several minutes at the Board of Education office in Union Springs. He'd been on administrative leave since last month.
