Mr. Byrne has not been terminated and there has been no finding that he engaged in any misconduct in the course of his employment by the board.”

Parents complained about shoddy construction and placement of the modulars, which eventually had to be closed and remediated after high levels of mold were discovered, and the school construction was years behind schedule and over budget.
