Davis says he was absent for medical reasons, but the board claims he never presented them with a doctor’s note.
“For the last 90 days, almost six months, I’ve been dealing with a lot of medical problems,” Davis said.
The school board’s president sent News Center 7 this statement:
“The decision was not made lightly as we recognize the importance of everyone’s role and supporting the success of our district. On behalf of the board, I want to sincerely thank Mr. Davis for his service to Trotwood Madison City School.”
After the vote Thursday evening, Davis said he filed for unemployment while he thinks about what he will do next.
“I get pressure to move on by a couple of people, voters,” Davis said. “They think there are other things for me out there. But right now, being a father, that’s about it for me, and work. I love that and enjoy that, but [I’m thinking] about fighting at this point. I think I need to seek legal counsel.”
