PRINEVILLE, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Crook County School District board members are sharing their thoughts on Superintendent Dr. Melissa Skinner, as turmoil continues among community.

It comes after the superintendent independently decided to transfer popular Athletic Director Rob Bonner from his sports role, a move the school board recommended against in a 4-0 vote at a packed meeting Monday night.

A recent citizens' letter, signed by more than 700 people so far, calls for an immediate suspension of Dr. Skinner’s authority over employment decisions pending a thorough investigation, a review of recent hiring processes, and consideration of a vote of no confidence leading to her termination.

Isabella Warren is speaking with school board members for an update tonight on NewsChannel 21 at Five.

Below is the complaint letter:
