A. No, I did not.

Q. Her name was just listed on
the sheet and you agreed with that?

A. That's correct.

Q. Okay. So, your participation
in regards to the decision to nonrenew
Ms. Hutchison was completely based on
Mr. Adams decision?

A. Absolutely. The
recommendation that came from him.

Q. Okay. Mr. Adams never
discussed with you anything about any
problems Ms. Hutchison had had prior to that

notice you received?

A. Never.

Q. Do you know Ms. Densel?

A. I had never ever talked with
Ms. Densel until this school year. I mean,

I knew she was a manager, but just by name
only. I had never actually had a
conversation with her.

Q. And she never discussed

anything with you about Ms. Hutchison?

Q. And the knowledge that you and
the Board relied on to nonrenew her contract
is based this Dr. DiChiara's recommendation?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. And what he testified to
earlier, based on his knowledge of it, is
what you also base your decision on?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. Did the Board conduct any
other independent investigation of

Ms. Hutchison?

A. No, sir.
Q. And then, number three there,
is basically asking for the same thing. The

Board's reasons for terminating/nonrenewing
the Plaintiff. Again, is that based on
Dr. DiChiara's recommendation?

A. When we actually take the
vote, it's based on that. And we are
counting on, you know, he and his personnel
doing the things that they need to do in
order to make these types of

recommendations.

A. Well, I knew that she was one
of the people that we had recommended for
nonrenewal, but I had never met her before.

Q. Okay. You knew her name had
come up in the nonrenewal process?

A. That's correct.

Q. Did you have any meetings
discussing her during the nonrenewal
process?

A. No. Just the list that came

to me from the personnel director.

Q. And would that be Mr. Adams?
A. That would be Mr. Adams.
Q. So, you got a list from

Mr. Adams of people who were going to be

nonrenewed?
A. That he's recommending.
Q. Okay.
A. And a list of people who he's

recommending for tenure, and so forth.
Q. Okay. Did you do anything to
find out why Ms. Hutchison was being

nonrenewed?

the managers, Walker and McKenzie,
would come out and sit and eat
breakfast with us. So she'd always
stop Betty from her comments.

Was Betty the only individual who made
comments to you about white people?
Yes, ma'am.

Did any of the other employees ever
make comments to you about white
people?

No, ma'am.

The first year?

No, ma'am. It was just Betty only.
The second year, too?

Yes, ma'am.

I understand that Judy transferred at
the end of the first year; is that
correct?

She transferred -- they transferred --
I don't know. All I know is the
second year Judy was not there, and
that they had -- Brenda had told me

she was transferred to another school.
