Board, Superintendent Didn't Reach Agreement

By Alabama Public Radio

Montgomery, AL – The Montgomery County School Board and Superintendent Carlinda Purcell did not reach an agreement on her departure Thursday. The board could fire her at a meeting on Friday. Board Chairman Dave Borden sent a letter to Purcell this week asking for her resignation after four other school board members asked him to schedule a meeting to discuss Purcell's contract. Purcell isn't commenting publicly. She earns 155-thousand dollars a year. She came to Montgomery from North Carolina in 2004 and agreed to a four-year contract.
