Jude Meyers, superintendent of Shawnee Local Schools, was indicted Monday in Gallia County on 14 felony charges and one misdemeanor count that allege he used his position as former superintendent of the Gallia County Local School District for personal gain and to benefit his son.
Clay Balyeat, president of the Shawnee board of education, said Tuesday morning that Meyers will retain his position as superintendent and will carry out his duties as usual while the criminal case against him plays out in court.
“There will be no action taken by the board,” Balyeat said. “We (board members) already discussed it last month and determined there is no harm to the students or staff and that (Meyers) is going stay on until we get a determination by a jury.”
