  Crenshaw's Attorney Responds to Report on Lawsuit web posted September 15, 2012 EDGEFIELD – Donald Gist, Attorney for former Edgefield County School Superintendent Dr. Mary Rice Crenshaw, contacted Edgefield Daily on Friday wanting to respond to what he said were false assertions by BOE Chairman Brad Covar and Superintendent Greg Anderson in a report published on Thursday. Mr. Gist was asked to send a written response to the press release issued by the School District contained in our previous report. Below is his response. "Dr. Mary Rice Crenshaw filed her lawsuit after attempts in December 2011 and in the Spring of 2012 to amicably resolve this matter short of litigation. The statements represented to your newspaper that the District was surprised by the lawsuit is totally false. The District’s effort to portray Dr. Rice Crenshaw as incompetent is completely ridiculous. Dr. Rice Crenshaw lead the Edgefield County Schools in a competent manner," Gist said. "This is verified by the Board’s own admission that she was terminated without cause. If in fact she was not performing her job, why would the Board not let her and the public know that. This Board’s response that out of their generosity, “we went out of our way to treat her with respect,” is totally false. This Board was certainly no friend of Dr. Mary Rice Crenshaw. In fact, this Board which terminated my client, continuously harassed and intimidated my client with threats of reprisals after this Board came to power. I intend to represent my client fully and had no intentions of going public with this matter until I read the article dated Wednesday, September 12, 2012 , which is totally inaccurate and a misrepresentation of the truth." Editor's Note: Edgefield Daily presented the information provided to us in a press release by the School District and information from the wording of the lawsuit. The article is factually correct throughout on the claims of the suit and the responses by Anderson and Covar. © Copyright 2012 All material is property of
