At the Sept. 8 board meeting the Black Oak Mine Unified School District board in Georgetown agreed to hire Meyers to be principal of Golden Sierra Junior Senior High School for this school year. In July 6 the board hired him on a 90-day contract.

The plan is to look for someone more permanent to be the superintendent-principal for the 7-12 school starting with the 2017-18 school year.

Meyers pleaded no contest to the first offense and guilty to the second. Both were misdemeanors. Both occurred during the work day.

The county board was not able to fire him because the superintendent is an elected position. Meyers told the board the only way he would leave is if they paid him through June 30, 2016. He was gone in November with two checks — $114,821.55 was essentially his salary, with another $10,930 for the value of his medical, dental and life insurance for that same time period.
