Summary

Multiple public commenters expressed strong support for Superintendent Amy Wilcox and criticized the board's actions; Wilcox's attorney announced she will place the board on litigation hold and requested preservation of documents and communications.

During public comment, several residents urged the board to stop actions they described as a ‘‘lynch hunt’’ and asked that Wilcox be rehired. Dawn Mitchell and Gail Colangelo were among those who said the community and students have benefited under Wilcox and accused the board of targeting her for political reasons.

Wilcox’s attorney, Heidi Sharp, identified herself in public comment and said she represents Dr. Wilcox; Sharp told the board she would send litigation‑hold notices and asked members to preserve emails, texts and searches because they may be relevant in future litigation.
