It was a packed house last night at the Walker County School Board meeting at LaFayette High School. Several community members, school faculty and students spoke up in favor of Superintendent Damon Raines. This comes after a special called meeting of the school last week where Raines’ job was believed to be in jeopardy. The Superintendent told WQCH after the meeting last night that he is at the table and is will to talk with school board members to settle the dispute. Members of the school board declined requests for comment. After the public comment portion of the meeting, the board held an executive session behind closed doors. The meeting was adjourned without the board address the crowd.
