Try Telling the Truth Because Your Nose is Growing Again: More Lies From Fairfield City Schools

Seriously; Fairfield City Schools should just try telling the truth once in a while.  These people are really bad at lying.  The truth can't be any worse.  In light of the fact they keep getting caught red-handed in telling lies, one would think that they would try being truthful once just to see how it went.

Sadly, the truth is not in Fairfield City Schools.  You've heard of allergies being on the rise these days in everything from gluten to peanuts.  Fairfield City Schools seems to have an allergy to the truth.

Fairfield Middle School Principal Lincoln Butts announced his resignation, effective June 30, 2016.  You can read more on the story here, courtesy of WCPO Channel 9.

Mr. Butts you will remember has been named as a defendant in the federal lawsuit filed by the parents of Emilie Olsen against several district employees at Fairfield City Schools.  Emilie was the 7th grade student who tragically took her own life in December 2014 after what her family claims was relentless bullying which occurred at school that district officials failed to properly address.

WCPO reports Emilie's parents claim Mr. Butts and police officers tried to "intimidate Marc Olsen into 'shutting up' and ceasing all interviews with the local media," during a visit to her family's home in the days after her death.
"They told Marc Olsen he was 'stirring the pot' and 'entertaining rumors' and in doing so 'causing an issue for the school and the community,'" the Olsens said in a filing in federal court in April.
According to the filing, Marc Olsen told Butts and the officers to leave his home. It also claims one of the officers told him to sit down because they weren't finished. Butts and the officers refused to leave not once, but twice, the parents allege.

This page has exposed lies Fairfield City Schools told about that visit to the Olsen home in this recent posting.
School officials did not say Wednesday whether Butts' resignation was related to the lawsuit. The school board's agenda for Thursday lists Butts as resigning for "personal reasons" and effective June 30.

You can check out the preliminary agenda for the district Board of Education meeting for May 19, 2016 here:

As you can plainly see for yourself, one of the agenda items involves the resignation of Fairfield Middle School Principal Lincoln Butts, for what are listed as personal reasons. 

We humbly beg to differ.  As usual, the facts and the words of Fairfield City Schools are at odds.

Check out the Fairfield City Schools Board of Education Work Session meeting minutes for June 5, 2014. 

As you can see for yourself, and was reported in the Journal-News the next day, Mr. Butts was hired to be principal of the middle school and received a two year contract in 2014.

To the best of our knowledge, Mr. Butts was never offered a new contract.  We have scoured recent Board meeting agendas and minutes, and found no mention of the subject.  We have even reached out to Fairfield City Schools for clarification on Mr. Butts' employment and contract status, and have been ignored as of this posting.

If you really believe that Mr. Butts is resigning on the day his contract ended, all we can say is we'll agree to disagree.  Some may call you naïve.  We won't.  We'll just direct you to this article that speaks to the issue of contracts in public education and how certain matters are viewed.
