VIDEO: COMMUNITY PLEADS WITH COUNTY TO REINSTATE DIRECTOR BILLY STEPP
The Cumberland County Schools and County Education Committee met last night in their regularly scheduled meeting.
However, the Committee moved their meeting venue from the School’s library to the Stone auditorium to allow comments from the community concerning the dismissal of Director of Schools Billy Stepp. There has been an uproar within the community of Stepp’s release with most saying Stepp is the best DOS the county has ever had.
Five School Board Members voted to not renew Stepps contract last Thursday night. The County is asking why. There has been some indication the five members acted on personal and private agenda’s in casting their vote that had nothing to do with Stepp’s performance as Director of Schools.
There is currently an investigation into the possible private agenda’s among the five Board Members. Below is a video of the numerous comments presented at the Schools and Education Committee.
