Refuses To Apologize Draws Fire In Craig Case at School Board
The Armstrong school case centers on Arthur U Craig accused of insubordination by W Bruce Evans.

Mr Cook defended Craig, calling the proposed apology indecent and stating the board sought his humiliation. Additional actions cover janitor reporting duties, building use for classes, and numerous staff appointments and transfers.
