The surprise rejection of an agreement between the majority on the Douglas County School Board and Superintendent Keith Lewis after droves of supporters turned out on Friday leaves him with a decision to make.
I am deeply humbled by the outpouring of support from the community, Lewis said in a statement to The Record-Courier on Saturday morning. It remains to be seen whether the disdain that a faction of the Board has toward me will be so great that my continued presence as superintendent will be detrimental to the future operation of the district.
Lewis said he will attend Tuesdays school board meeting at Whittell High School but plans to take some time off.
