The school board voted unanimously to continue the superintendent’s administrative leave amid sexual harassment allegations raised by a teacher in her lawsuit against the board

Attorneys for the board argue that interactions between the teacher and Adams as described in her lawsuit against the board were "mainly comprised of innocuous conversations and a mere handful of texts and ignored phone calls over the course of nearly three school years."

The board voted 4-0 Monday to extend Adams’s leave to after its next board meeting so members can continue gathering information and decide next steps in the matter.

The Spencer County Board of Education's former chairperson, Jeanie Stevens, also resigned from her seat on the panel following Monday's board meeting.

Spencer County Public Schools Superintendent Chuck Adams has been accused of sexually harassing a teacher in a lawsuit filed Wednesday.
