BRAY — The situation involving Bray-Doyle High School principal Jack Williams has been resolved without the need for a Williams’ due process hearing.

Williams said that he and Bray-Doyle Superintendent Kevin McKinley will meet to discuss Williams coming back to the school system in some fashion.

“I’m not for sure what it is going to be,” Williams said. “I’m going to meet with him (McKinley) at 9 a.m. Friday morning. He called me so I don’t know what is going on.”

Phone calls to McKinley were not returned Wednesday afternoon.

Williams was informed by McKinley that the termination process had begun in late June for his actions during a Bray-Doyle Board of Education meeting in April.

Williams was then set for his due-process hearing, which was postponed several times before being canceled.

McKinley said in an interview in mid July that “He (Williams) was insubordinate not only to me but also to board members. He had to be removed from executive session.”

McKinley also said that there were other options and that he and school board members had decided to dismiss Williams, who has 34 years of total service in education.
