At a 3-2 vote, the Chambers County  School Board voted to approve the superintendent’s recommendation to terminate employment of LaWendy Willis, the former counselor of LaFayette High School.

The decision came on Thursday night after close to nine hours of testimonies.

During the third installment of the personnel hearing, both Superintendent Casey Chambley and Willis were questioned about several of the topics that were previously mentioned. Other officials were questioned during the previously held hearings. The process was only scheduled for one day but was extended twice due to the duration of the hearings.

The grounds for the termination included insubordination, inability to complete duties and “other reasonable causes,” according to Meadows. Willis and her counsel denied the claims.

Willis was represented by Stanley Gray, an attorney based out of Opelika. The school board attorney, Bob Meadows, represented the superintendent.

A more in depth article detailing the third part of the hearing will be coming out tomorrow.
