Former Dothan schools superintendent asks for $584,000 in back pay
Updated Jan 20, 2021;
A former Dothan city school superintendent who left the job last year is seeking almost $600,000 that she claims she is due from the system, news outlets reported.
Phyllis Edwards is threatening to sue the system unless it turns over the money, according to a letter her attorney sent to the school board in the southeastern Alabama city.
Edwards submitted a letter in September saying she planned to quit, and the board accepted her resignation about a week later. Edwards’ attorney, Jacob Fuller, said she hadn’t actually resign so the board owes her $584,000 in unpaid salary.
