SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake City School District Board of Education announced Tuesday evening that no resolution has yet been reached in the ongoing employment dispute with the district superintendent, but the two parties will undergo mediation of the matter.
Prior to Gadson being put on leave, Utah's chapter of the NAACP asked the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Department of Justice to launch an investigation into alleged discrimination and harassment by the Salt Lake City School Board. The organization later also claimed that placing him on leave and asking him to resign was discrimination. Mohamed Baayd, who is the only Black member of the school board, also said the accusations against Gadson were discriminatory.
However, Ford was able to publicly say that Gadson's contract"requires that we participate in mediation of any disputes," and that he has requested such mediation. She said the board plans to cooperate with the mediation"in good faith," and added that if there was to be a termination of Gadson's contract, it would be done in an open and public meeting.
The district previously spent more than $60,000 to investigate Gadson. The district has refused to publicly release copies of the complaints or the results of that investigation because, as the district claims, there was no disciplinary action taken. FOX 13 News has appealed that decision, questioning the validity of those statements.
