GA. School Superintendent fired over porn on Blackberry device http://www.privateofficer.com
BRUNSWICK, Ga. Feb 23 2009– The Glynn County Board of Education voted unanimously Friday to terminate the contract of Superintendent Michael Bull over allegations that he used his school-issued BlackBerry device to access pornographic material.
The school system’s IT system flagged that inappropriate content was accessed and notified managers.
“The board acted swiftly and appropriately in this matter, keeping in mind that the bottom line is doing what is best for our school system and its students,” Chairman Millard Allen said.
There was no indication that content was illegal and there was not criminal investigation, but school officials were consulting their attorney whether the violation of policy should be reported to the Professional Standards Commission.
Bull was in his fourth year as superintendent and had received accolades for improving academic performance in the school system. The board recently extended Bull’s contract through 2011 and raised his annual salary to $167,648.
The board appointed Howard Mann, assistant superintendent for operations, as acting superintendent until a superintendent search can be completed and a permanent superintendent can be hired.
“Our focus for the Glynn County schools will continue to be on ensuring that all schools make Adequate Yearly Progress and that our current building projects are completed on time and under budget,” Mann said. “We will continue to be committed to excellence in education for our 12,000 students.”
