The move came after a Dec. 15 board meeting, during which the board approved placing Mr. Kirk on administrative leave. At the time, board members indicated they wanted to do an internal investigation, according to Ms. Allen Wagner. No additional details were provided.
Ms. Allen Wagner said about 100 people attended a Sept. 27 town hall meeting in person and another 100 were online. During the meeting, Mr. Kirk received various questions from the public about working conditions and the treatment of employees.
