COOPERSTOWN, N.D. -- Griggs County Central School Principal Timothy Stathis has been placed on paid administrative leave after officials said he was unwilling to do his job.
The School Board made the unanimous decision Friday in a special meeting just eight days after voting unanimously in favor of not renewing Stathis’ contract, which expires June 30.
“He turned in his keys,” Superintendent Meghan Brown said.
During a Feb. 11 special meeting, Brown made the recommendation to not renew Stathis’s contract because of his “unwillingness to fulfill the duties of the job he was hired and paid to fulfill and (his) unwillingness to take directives from his superior," according to a statement issued Tuesday. The School Board and Brown did not give further details on why Stathis would not be returning to the school as its principal.
But Stathis has denied that he has been unwilling to do his job, adding, “It is wrong to have called my willingness to perform my duties into question."
