School Board Charges May Over Grade Fits and Civic Ties
J Oliver May, a seventh and eighth grade teacher at Booker Washington School, faces dismissal and a board review. May lists extensive civic memberships and wartime service after claiming he was informed of his termination by Superintendent Wayne Watson for not aligning subjects to grade levels and civic involvement. He cites honors from the Army, Boy Scouts, and multiple organizations, including Circle 16 Recreation Club and the NAACP, as support for his case. He also notes a $200 donation to Circle 16 Club toward child recreation facilities on South Thirteenth Street and Cruft Street.
