Resolutions:

To See To it That:

• The Wayne County Board of Education holds Superintendent Gary Adkins and Assistant Superintendent Mike Rutherford and any other Central Office personnel who were involved, accountable for their role in the multiple instances of nonfeasance, misfeasance and malfeasance as regards questionable payments to and multiple incidents involving Todd H. Thompson, former Network Administrator for Spring Valley High School and son of long-time Wayne County Board of Education Member, Rodney Thompson, D. C.; specifically requesting that Mr. Adkins' employment be terminated, and Mr. Rutherford's employment be terminated.

• The Wayne County Board of Education re-examine all positions, new or existing, that have been filled under Mr. Adkins tenure with close scrutiny as to improper procedure, lesser qualified personnel chosen over more qualified personnel and also, particularly, creation of unnecessary positions.

• The Wayne County Board of Education fulfill its fiduciary responsibility to be good stewards of the public funds with which they have been entrusted and drastically reduce Central Office personnel and associated costs;

1. thus allowing necessary teachers to be provided to all of the schools that have begged for them over and over, year after year, only to be told there is no money
2. thus allowing necessary supplies, equipment and classroom materials to be provided to all of the schools that have had to do fundraisers all year long to purchase things that should have been supplied by the school system, only to be told there is no money
3. thus allowing necessary maintenance, repairs, and replacement of heating & cooling, bathrooms, roofs, ovens, intercoms, phone systems, security systems, doors, etc. that schools have requested, only to be told there is no money
