C. J. Huff: Turner Report story on Bud Sexson is false

Joplin Superintendent C. J. Huff says the Turner Report post on the job status of East Middle School Principal Bud Sexson  is "completely false." In an e-mail sent to East Middle School personnel this morning, Huff took issue with the post and said he and the Joplin R-8 Board of Education are upset about it.

He never said Bud Sexson will be East Middle School principal on opening day of the 2014-2015 school year.

The e-mail message is printed below:

Attached are a couple of posts by former EMS teacher Randy Turner. The posts indicate that the Board of Education is contemplating termination of Mr. Sexson. 

What you need to know is that the report by Mr. Turner is completely false. The Joplin Schools' Board of Education and I were made aware of the posting regarding Mr. Sexson late last night. They are as appalled by the report as I am.

 Please join us in supporting Mr. Sexson during this difficult time.

If the Board isn't considering this action with Bud Sexson, THEY SHOULD.

Glad that a local station was willing to report on a story that would shed light on a Joplin Schools issue...a step forward.

He used an interesting pairing of words. He left himself an awful lot of room. It sounds as if Huff is trying to put him in on the second day.
