The decision to pay outgoing Liberty County School Superintendent Dr. Valya Lee a year’s salary after her contract expires, was made by the Board of Education under the advisement of LCSS attorney Carl Varnedoe. “Following the advice of our attorney we, the board and Dr. Lee, agreed to a one year salary,” LCSS BoE Chairwoman Lily Baker said. The announcement of Lee’s departure and the BoE’s mutual acceptance to not renew her contract, which ends June 30, were made Feb. 28.
