Settlement in Davis and Paul exit with waivers
Davis and Paul receive settlements from ALCD after firing for alleged misused funds. Davis gets 250000 in three installments and Paul 35000 over two years. Board states settlement avoids further litigation and focuses on district’s future. Some officials demand stronger explanation and accountability for the 285000 total paid to settle.
Davis settlement described as bittersweet by spouse
Jane Davis said the Friday board meeting announcing the settlement was brief and neither she nor Kevin attended. A tense mediation in St. Louis preceded the deal. The agreement started at 2500 for the former secretary and rose to 35000 over two years for Nancee Paul, while Kevin receives 250000 over three years. Jane will teach kindergarten and Kevin will be insured under her plan and may take a teaching job at Kaskaskia College in Centralia. He plans to pursue other opportunities while remaining in the area.
