No, no, no!! If that's what was written and that's all that was written, the LAW was broken! Not only is it in policy, it is in the Code of Virginia! Article 6. School Boards and Employees of School Boards. § 2.2-3119
The Law and the policy use the word AND, not OR.
Section E The member certifies that he had no involvement with the hiring decision AND (ii) the superintendent certifies to the remaining members of the governing body in writing that the employment is based upon merit and fitness and the competitive rating of the qualifications of the individual and that no member of the board had any involvement with the hiring decision.
Please note: Nowhere does it say that the superintendent has to certify that she didn't have involvement in his hiring. She didn't hire HER relative. That's what she would say if she hired her own relative. Speaking of..... Does her sister, Malvin Kay, ever disclose when she votes on Marcie's contract????? I don't know, maybe she does.
This is very bad, but it could be worse. We could have extreme right-wingers intent on undermining/destroying public schools. (See our neighbor to the south.) With that said, Fredericksburg city schools desperately need new leadership.
Good reporting Adele. This is the type of investigative news coverage that Fredericksburg has been sorely lacking for a long time. John Sims at Hyperbole is also doing a great job of shining a light in areas that are needed.
If LAW was broken, what do you think our Commonwealth Attorney will do?

Gonna take an outsider to clean up FCPS mess to include City Council (yes they partly responsible), School Board and Administration.
A ‘whole lotta mess’ they left our community.
Thanks Advance for investigative reporting.
