STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, COLO. — The former principal of Steamboat Springs High School has notified the school board he plans to file suit alleging the board unfairly decided against renewing his contract.
Mike Knezevich sent the board a letter dated Sept. 9 saying he will seek $400,000 in lost wages and damages.
The board met in closed session on Monday to discuss the letter.
Superintendent Shalee Cunningham says the board made no decisions.
She declined further comment.
The board voted 3-2 in June not to renew Knezevich’s contract after former interim superintendent Sandra Smyser gave him an unfavorable review.
Knezevich claims the review was unfair because Smyser had little direct contact with him and no firsthand knowledge of his performance.
