BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - The Birmingham Board of Education has
voted unanimously to fire city schools Superintendent Stan Mims
without severance pay.
Board members last week received an investigation report saying
that Mims intentionally deleted 4 1/2 pages of critical findings
from a report on the system before distributing it to the public.
Mims has acknowledged altering the report by the Council of
Great City Schools, a Washington-based think tank. He said he
didn't want to demoralize staff members. The altered version was
distributed with renumbered pages to members of the public and the
media in January.
School board members received the entire report, which was also
posted on the Council of the Great City Schools' Web site.
