WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Itâs been more than 10 months since the New Hanover County School Board voted to approve an agreement allowing former Superintendent Tim Markley to resign - granting him more than $200,000 worth of benefits.
Markley faced criticism from many in the community after multiple teachers were arrested and charged with sex crimes against students in a two-year span.
The agreement to pay Markley $195,000 in severance along with $32,966.66 in benefits caused some residents to question the actions of the board.
