Galveston ISD is now looking for a new superintendent after what some call 'offensive' comments.
FOX 26 Reporter Damali Keith explains what happened and what's next for the district.Galveston ISD is now in need of a new superintendent after Dr. Jerry Gibson's resignation was accepted during a special board meeting Monday night that didn't end until nearly midnight. This comes after Gibson made what some call offensive, sexist remarks against women.
Until June 30th, Gibson will still get paid, he'll hold the title Galveston ISD Retiring Superintendent, and he'll receive a $70,000 severance payment. His resignation comes after board members say he was up for a job in Florida and didn't inform them of his plans to leave and making what many call questionable comments.
"That's pretty rude isn't it. That's not how a superintendent should be acting. He should be a role model," says resident Dennis Mayer.
