It looks like Monroe lied to get rid of Layne Hunt

An article in the Ann Arbor News today makes it appear that the Monroe school district suppressed information about Layne Hunt’s tenure as th high school principal there just so they could get rid of him. The tale of Hunt’s experiences there sound almost exactly like what has happened at Ypsi High this year. It looks increasingly like Hunt has been playing on the insecurities of members of the African-American community in Ypsilanti to make his own inadequacies as a leader appear to be a case of racism when it is in fact anything but.

Kally, Hunt was only in Benton Harbor for a year. I have yet to hear anything about his tenure there. However, his history in Monroe strangely parallels what happened here. More importantly, when he left Monroe he made an agreement with the district to remove the negative reviews from his record and get paid for another year. Monroe likely did this to avoid any litigation with Hunt which could have potentially cost a lot more than one year's salary.

Forner Employee of Hunt

Look further back. Hunt has accused ALL of his previous employers of racism. Look at his Southfield tenure; look at his out-of-state tenure--all were "racists" according to Hunt. He has NEVER held an administrative position for a full 3-year contract term. He is, simply, not administrative material. Period.

I read the Ann Arbor News article and I don't see why you would say Monroe lied to get rid of him. It was Benton Harbor that had him before he came to Ypsilanti. I guess I don't see the corrolation.
