Timothy Wilder is on Glades County Schools Moore Haven Junior-Senior High School page as the school principal,
Wilder was terminated November 14 in a unanimous vote by the school board after the Dothan school board's attorney presented what was described as inappropriate text messages from Wilder to various recipients.
The school system's former public relations director and grant writer Torrie Ethridge reportedly testified that she resigned from her job because of harassment by Wilder, and said he related a graphic description of a dream of a sexual encounter in a gas station bathroom he allegedly had about her.
Wilder says he was terminated on a "mere allegation" and said the board did not due a full investigation, not giving him a reasonable opportunity to be heard.

He was Superintendent of Schools for Gulf County, Fl in 2004-2010, following his father who was also Superintendent of Schools. His wife was employed by the Dothan school system as a teacher.

That's just the one that got him. Support personnel and surrounding educational foundations provided evidence against him
ReplyDeleteThere was no "evidence" against Mr. Wilder except for the fabricated information presented by Mr. Segrest. Do a little digging on Segrest and you'll find many skeletons in that old man's closet and also a motive to railroad Mr. Wilder.
