The undisclosed person sued Mr. Fitzhugh for sexual harassment on or about August 2022. She claimed that the Defendant Fitzhugh regularly engaged in sexually harassing and egregiously discriminatory conversations in the Plaintiff\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The defendant counter-sued her for defamation, but per the information we received that the case of the counter sue has been dismissed. However, the sexual assault case is still waiting under the proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, Mr. Fitzhugh is said to have two years left on his contract, and the board is looking to extend his contract for $1.6 million for another 5 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this in mind, here are some questions I have for the board members:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Why is there a rush to extend the contract?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. When you vote, do you gain anything, personally or professionally, for approving the contract?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Is someone politically pressuring you to vote yes to the contract?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Orange has less than 40,000 people. How do you justify giving Mr. Fitzhugh a contract that is in line with that of Newark School Superintendent Roger Leon, who oversees a district with well over 300,000 people?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. What distinction has Mr. Fitzhugh shown on the academic front for Orange&#8217;s students to gain such an extension?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will appreciate you providing answers to these questions for the residents of the Orange, so Local Talk can fulfill its duty to inform the people. Please answer before 4 pm today. This will be published right away for the taxpayers \/ residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks in advance,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Local Talk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dhiren Shah<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Here is a reply from Jessika Kleen, Esq. on behalf of the board:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe undersigned represents the Orange Board of Education.
