The board president said an investigation had uncovered evidence 'that contradicted Dr. Phelps’ statements and assertions to the board, district staff and the public'
The Poway Unified School board voted unanimously Tuesday to fire Superintendent Marian Kim Phelps, effectively immediately. The action follows an investigation into Del Norte High School’s softball program and accusations that Phelps harassed its players after an end-of-season awards banquet last May. The probe included 41 witnesses and the review of a number of documents, officials said.
In response, trustees launched the investigation on Dec. 14 “in consideration of the concerns raised in the community and to ensure all students are safe and supported at school.” Rachelle Babler, a parent of two Poway Unified students who attended Tuesday’s meeting, said after the announcement that Phelps should have been fired last summer when students and parents first came to the board.
