The Casa Grande Union High School District board selected Matthew Strom on Tuesday night as acting interim superintendent after removing Anna Battle as superintendent without cause last week.
Wright declined to talk to The Arizona Republic, saying he wouldn't comment on personnel decisions. Hunt said he couldn't disclose what was discussed in the closed-door meeting. Hayes did not respond to The Republic's request for comment. Battle could not be reached. "This feels petty. This is not going to solve the problems of the district," Kerby said."We are going to be dealing with unintended consequences, and I gotta say this, and I want to say this very clearly: I think if Dr. Battle looked a little more like me and a little less like a woman of color, we would not be having this discussion."Before casting her vote, Herrington said she was adamantly against ousting Battle.
