Lee County superintendent will not resign
TUPELO – Lee County Schools Superintendent Mike Scott said Thursday he will not resign as the county Democratic Executive Committee has demanded.
A letter from that committee had called for Scott to resign because of an alleged extramarital affair with a school district employee. It set today as the deadline.
