The superintendent of Spencer County Public Schools is accused in a lawsuit of sexually harassing a teacher.
Hannah Jaggers filed the lawsuit last week against the Spencer County Board of Education and Superintendent Chuck Adams, claiming he made repeated visits to her classroom, made calls and texts to her personal cell phone and made inappropriate comments at work.
The school board voted Monday to place Adams on paid administrative leave until May 10, according to Vice Chair Lynn Shelburne. Four members voted for the motion, while no one opposed.
Former Chair Jeanie Stevens abstained and later in the meeting resigned from her position.
